📖 TERMS ON THIS PAGE6terms
Capability of launching an anti-tank guided missile from an airborne platform, such as a helicopter or aircraft.
Guidance method using passive radar detection to home in on enemy radar emissions.
A guidance system in ATGMs that uses infrared sensors to create a thermal image of the target for precise homing.
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 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.
Enables real-time sharing of position, targeting, and sensor data among aircraft and platforms for coordinated combat operations.
