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.

Fire-and-forget refers to a missile guidance system where the missile guides itself to its target after launch, requiring no further input from the operator.

Imaging infrared guidance uses a sensor to capture a thermal image of the target, enabling the missile to track and hit with high precision.

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.

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.
