A guidance system in ATGMs that uses infrared sensors to create a thermal image of the target for precise homing.
Launched from naval platforms, such as ships or submarines.
A guidance method where a missile uses radar reflections from an external illuminator, typically a ground or airborne radar, to track and intercept 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.
