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.

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 guidance system that uses directed laser beams to track and adjust the trajectory of a missile toward its target.

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