📖 TERMS ON THIS PAGE5terms
Capability of launching an anti-tank guided missile from an airborne platform, such as a helicopter or aircraft.
A guidance system in ATGMs that uses infrared sensors to create a thermal image of the target for precise homing.
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.
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.
