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.

Fire-and-forget refers to a missile guidance system where the missile guides itself to its target after launch, requiring no further input from the operator.

Launched from a ground-based platform, such as a vehicle or tripod, rather than an aircraft or other airborne system.

Guidance system combining inertial navigation (self-contained motion tracking) with GPS (satellite-based positioning) for precise trajectory correction in ballistic missiles.

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.

Launched from naval platforms, such as ships or submarines.

A proximity fuze is a detonation mechanism in ATGMs that triggers when the missile approaches within a set distance of a target, using sensors like radar or laser to detect proximity.

Sea‑skimming is a low‑altitude flight profile in which a missile or projectile flies close to the sea surface to minimize radar detection and increase survivability.

A two-stage ATGM propulsion system where a booster stage initially accelerates the missile before a sustainer stage maintains flight velocity.
