📖 TERMS ON THIS PAGE8terms
Capability of launching an anti-tank guided missile from an airborne platform, such as a helicopter or aircraft.
The initial propulsion phase where a high-thrust motor accelerates the missile to operational velocity.
Launched from a ground-based platform, such as a vehicle or tripod, rather than an aircraft or other airborne system.
A guidance method that uses inertial navigation sensors together with satellite‑based GPS signals to determine a missile’s position and steer it toward a target.
A guidance system that uses directed laser beams to track and adjust the trajectory of a missile toward its target.
Launched from naval platforms, such as ships or submarines.
Enables real-time sharing of position, targeting, and sensor data among aircraft and platforms for coordinated combat operations.
A two-stage ATGM propulsion system where a booster stage initially accelerates the missile before a sustainer stage maintains flight velocity.
