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.

Characterized by a flight speed exceeding Mach 5, or approximately 6,150 km/h (3,800 mph) or higher.

Electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths longer than visible light, used in missile guidance systems to detect and track targets based on heat signatures.

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