A guidance system in ATGMs that uses infrared sensors to create a thermal image of the target for precise homing.

Electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths longer than visible light, used in missile guidance systems to detect and track targets based on heat signatures.

A lightweight, shoulder-fired anti-tank guided missile system designed for individual soldier transport and operation.

A tandem warhead configuration in anti-tank missiles where a smaller precursor charge detonates reactive armor, followed by a larger main charge to penetrate the underlying armor.
