The '''9K111 ''Fagot''''' ({{lang-ru|9K111 «Фагот»}}; {{lang-en|[[bassoon]]}}) is a [[SACLOS]] [[Wire-guided missile|wire-guided]] [[anti-tank missile]] ''system'' of the [[Soviet Union]]. "9M111" is the [[GRAU]] designation of the ''missile''. Its [[NATO reporting name]] is '''AT-4''' '''''Spigot'''''.<br />
<br />
==Development==<br />
The 9K111 Fagot was developed by the Tula Machinery Design Bureau (Tula KBP). Development began in 1962 with the aim of producing the next generation of [[SACLOS]] ATGM's, for use in both the man portable role and the tank destroyer role. The 9K111 Fagot was developed alongside the [[AT-5 Spandrel|AT-5]]; both missiles use similar technology – only differing in size.<br />
<br />
The missile entered service in 1970.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
The anti-tank platoon of a [[Soviet]] BTR equipped motor rifle [[battalion]] had two [[ATGM]] squads, each squad has two 9K111 Fagot teams. The team consisted of 3 men - the gunner carries the '''9P135''' launcher and tripod as a back pack - the other two men carry two launch tubes each. The men also carry assault rifles, but do not carry an [[rocket propelled grenade|RPG]] - because unlike the earlier missiles there is only a small deadzone inside which the missile cannot engage the target. In addition to the four missiles the team carries, they normally have a [[BTR-60|BTR]] with an additional 8 missiles.<br />
<br />
It can also be deployed from the [[BMP-1P]], BTR-D and [[UAZ-469]].<br />
<br />
==Description==<br />
[[Image:POLK 9K111 Fagot.jpg|thumb|9K113 Konkurs missile system (launcher and missile) and a 9M111M Faktoriya missile in launch tube (standing)]]<br />
<br />
The missile is stored and carried in a container/launch tube. It is fired from the '''9P135''' launcher post - a simple tripod. A '''9S451''' guidance box is fitted to the tripod - with the missile sitting just above. The '''9Sh119''' sight is fitted to the left side (from the gunners POV). The complete launcher system weighs 22.5&nbsp;kg. The gunner lays prone while firing. The system can engage moving targets providing they are travelling at less than 60&nbsp;km/h. The launcher post can traverse through 360 degrees horizontally, and +/- 20 degrees in elevation. The sight has a magnification of 10x and a 5 degree field of view. Up to 3 missiles a minute can be fired from a launcher post.<br />
<br />
The system uses a gas generator to push the missile out of the launch tube - the gas also exits from the rear of the launch tube in a similar manner to a [[recoilless rifle]]. The missile leaves the launch tube at 80 m/s. It is quickly accelerated to 186 m/s by its solid fuel motor. This initial high speed reduces the deadzone of the missile, since it can be launched directly at the target, rather than in an upward arc. <br />
<br />
The launcher tracks the position of an incandescent [[infrared]] bulb on the back of the missile relative to the target - and transmits appropriate commands to the missile via a thin wire that trails behind the missile. The [[SACLOS]] guidance system has many benefits over [[MCLOS]], with the accuracy of the system stated as 90% in some sources, though its performance is probably comparable to the [[BGM-71|TOW]] or the later [[SACLOS]] versions of the AT-3 Sagger.<br />

<br />
'''ERYX''' is a short-range portable [[SACLOS]]-based [[wire-guided missile|wire-guided]] [[anti-tank guided missile|anti-tank missile]] (ATGM) produced by European company [[MBDA]]. It is used by several countries, including the [[Canadian Forces]], [[French Army|French]], and [[Norwegian Army|Norwegian]] armies. The weapon can also be used against [[bunker]]s and [[bunker#Pillbox|pillbox]]es. It also has some capability in the [[anti aircraft]] role to bring down low flying helicopters, due to its [[wire guided]] system. <br />
An agreement was reached in 1989 between the French and Canadian governments to co-produce the ERYX missile system.<ref name="Armada">{{cite journal|title=Anti-tank guided missile developments|author=Robert Furlong|journal=[[Armada International]]|publisher= Armada International AG|url=http://www.thefreelibrary.com/Anti-tank+guided+missile+developments.-a09046203|date=1990-04-01|ISSN=0252-9793}}</ref> It entered service in 1994.<br />
<br />
==Development==<br />
[[File:ACCP-04.jpg|thumb|left|ACCP]]<br />
The Eryx began as a project in the late 1970s by the French Ministry of defense to replace the short range Luchaire's [[LRAC F1]] STRIM 89mm rocket launcher in the French Army. The requirement was for a cost effective antitank weapon that could defeat any known or future main battle tank at range maximum range of 600 meters with considerable accuracy, including on windy days. [[Aerospatiale]], the French defense and aerospace firm, believed it was, from a practical standpoint, impossible to design an unguided antitank rocket that could meet the strict requirements. The weapon system that Aerospatiale offered was basically a mini-short range wire guided antitank missile, the ACCP (Anti Char Courte Portee) which in French translates to ''Short Range Anti-tank Weapon System''. The first prototype was delivered to the French Ministry of Defense for testing in 1982. The concept firing post (See: ''ACCP'' image) used a scaled down version of the MILAN tracking and guidance system, but was found in field condition tests to be impractical both from a technical and cost standpoint. <ref name=IDR>{{cite journal|first=B.|last=Fritz|title=A Guided Missile As A Short Range Anti-tank Weapon|journal=[[Jane's International Defence Review|International Defense Review]]|date=7/1982|page=68|publisher=[[Jane's Information Group]]|issn=0020-6512}}</ref><br />
<br />
In 1989, France and Canada signed a joint venture to co-produce the ERYX missile. AlliedSignal Aerospace Canada Inc has been developed the Mirabel thermal imager for the ERYX firing post. <ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.fas.org/man/dod-101/sys/land/row/eryx.htm|title=Eryx|author=|date=|accessdate=|publisher=Federation of American scientists}}</ref> Canadian industries, including Simtran and Solartron Systems, also produced the Eryx Interactive Gunnery Simulator and the Eryx Precision Gunnery Simulator. <ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.army-technology.com/projects/eryx/|title=Eryx Heavy Anti-Armour Missile, France|author=|date=|accessdate=|publisher=Army-Technology}}</ref> <br />
<br />
===Enhanced Eryx===<br />
MBDA approached the Canadian government twice, once in 2005, and again in 2006, with a proposal to develop an improved version of the Eryx which would see an improved range, sight, and anti-armour capabilities as a way of extending the Eryx's service life. The Canadian government opted not to participate in the improvement program because it did not meet the new requirements of the [[Canadian Forces]], and conflicted with an ongoing replacement project.<ref name="OCDW">{{cite news|url=http://communities.canada.com/ottawacitizen/blogs/defencewatch/archive/2009/12/14/canadian-army-eryx-missile-system-being-cannibalized-to-keep-it-going-until-2016.aspx|title=CANADIAN ARMY ERYX MISSILE SYSTEM BEING CANNIBALIZED TO KEEP IT GOING UNTIL 2016|author=David Pugliese|date=2009-12-14|accessdate=2009-12-14|publisher=[[Ottawa Citizen]]}}</ref> In 2007 MBDA provided funding for the development of an enhanced Eryx system. The new system features a new, non-cooled thermal sight which uses a [[Bolometer|bolometric sensor]]. MBDA asserts that that the new sight is quieter, reduces weight, increases battery life, and provides a detection range greater than the missile's own maximum range. The enhanced Eryx also includes a new training simulator. The system was demonstrated for a potential [[Middle Eastern]] customer in October, 2009.<ref name=mbdapr>{{cite press release|url=http://www.mbda-systems.com/mbda/site/ref/scripts/newsFO_complet.php?lang=EN&news_id=294|title=ENHANCED ERYX REGISTERS 100 % SUCCESS RATE|publisher=[[MBDA]]|date=2009-11-16}}</ref><br />

==Description==<br />
[[Image:ERYX-2ndFrInReg 2.jpg|thumb|left|Front View of Launch Tube on Firing Post With Optional Add On Night Sight]] The missile is ejected from its container using a very low powered short burn rocket motor located in the tail.The launching motor completes its burn before leaving the container, protecting the gunner from being burned. After the missile coasts a safe distance the main sustainer motor ignites and burns until impacting the target or it reaches its maximum range of 600 meters. The main rocket motor is located at mid-body with two exhausts in the side (e.g. similar to the US [[BGM-71 TOW]] antitank missile). Unlike most wire guided antitank missiles the Eryx is propelled at a relative low speed of approximately 243 meters per second at its maximum range. The missile is guided in flight by two vanes located at mid body which act against the main rocket motors thrust. As the missile slowly rotates the launch units send signals commanding the correction by one of the two vanes to move against the missile motors thrust. For example if the missile has to move to the left, the right thrust vector vane will actuate at the correct time. No other missile in service today uses this type of system to physically control the missile in flight. In addition the "soft launch" is what enables the Eryx to be fired from confined spaces (e.g. buildings) and not cause a massive launch signature that will reveal the Eryx gunners position to hostile counter fire. Aerospatiale claims that this "soft launch" feature enables the Eryx antitank team to be used effectively in urban antitank warfare.<ref name=CW>{{cite journal|first=Nick|last=Nicholas|title=AEROSPATIALE'S ACCP BRIDGES THE GAP|journal=Combat Weapons|date=Fall 1985|page=53|publisher=Omega Group Ltd.|issn=1052-5076}}</ref><ref>Photo above to the left is mislabeled as the heavier MILAN antitank missile - a common error today</ref><br />

<br />
The Eryx missile uses a [[SACLOS]] guidance system, the launcher tracks a light source on the rear of the missile and compares its position with the center of the launcher's cross-hair, sending corrective signals down a trailing control wire. The missile increases resistance to jamming by having a beacon as the light source on the rear of the missile that pulsates or blinks at a special encoded rate recognized by the Eryx's tracking device located on the launch post. Unlike most wire guides antitank missiles that use SACLOS guidance, which require a complex optical tracker unit that has to zoom from a wide to narrow view in micro seconds after the missile is launched (e.g. the MILAN), the Eryx uses two small [[Charge-coupled device]] (CCD) cameras that operate in the IR spectrum, one which has a wide view and gathers the missile into the gunner's cross hairs, and then automatically switches to the second CCD with a narrow view that tracks it through the rest of its short flight. Again Aerospatiale also states that this unique and simplified SACLOS tracking system provides for a far more cost effective solution and enable the Eryx to be highly resistant to decoys or jamming and other enemy counter measures.<ref name=CW/><br />
<br />
The missile uses two "[[tandem-charge|tandem]]" [[HEAT]] [[warhead]]s in order to defeat [[explosive reactive armour|reactive armour]] fitted to many armored vehicles today; a much small diameter warhead at the front of the missile body and a larger main warhead at the rear. Locating the main warhead at the rear of the missile body provides the correct stand off needed for the optimum effectiveness of the Eryx warhead without the need of a complex collapsible nose probe (e.g. the TOW) which is standard on most antitank missiles today. This simple solution keeps the missile's cost extremely low when compared to other antitank missiles but also for a compact missile design that can be produce in mass quantities.<ref name=CW/><br />
<br />
==Dispute with MBDA and Turkey==<br />
In 1998 the Turkish government signed a contract with MBDA to replace the [[Turkish Armed Forces]]' aging 3.5-inch rocket launchers and [[RPG-7]]s. The deal, worth approximately €404 million, would see the licensed production of 1,600 Eryx launchers, and 20,000 missiles in Turkey. The project encountered setbacks after the Turkish Army claimed that missile failed to meet accuracy requirements of a 72 percent hit rate (i.e. this claim is "unofficially" rejected by MBDA). The poor performance was attributed to technical difficulties, and later corrected by MBDA.<ref name=zaman>{{cite news|url=http://www.sundayszaman.com/sunday/detaylar.do?load=detay&link=186269|title=Long-standing Eryx missile dispute comes to an end|publisher=[[Sunday's Zaman]]|date=2009-09-06|first=Lale|last=Kemal}}</ref> In 2004 the Turkish Undersecretariat for Defense Industries (SSM) canceled the contract citing MBDA's failure to meet the terms of the agreement in a timely manner, and MBDA was blacklisted in Turkey. MBDA, in turn, stated that the reason for cancellation was an excuse, and that the systems were simply no longer needed. This is likely based on the 2004 decision by the Turkish Armed Forces to disband four army brigades, and downsize remaining army units, thereby decreasing the requirement for new anti-armor systems. According to MBDA, the ERYX is still in service though with the Turkish Army. <ref name=zaman /> The blacklisting has been attributed to the decision by the [[French Parliament]] to recognize the [[Armenian Genocide]] in 2001.<ref name=zaman /><ref name=defensenews>{{cite web|url=http://www.defensenews.com/story.php?i=4342872|title=Turkey Blacklists MBDA Over Missile Dispute|date=2009-10-26|first1=Umit|last1=Enginsoy|first2=Burak|last2=Ege Bekdil}}</ref> According to report by Undersecretariat for Defense Industries of Turkey, MBDA and Turkey signed a memorandum of understanding on to acquire 632 Eryx launchers, 3920 missiles and modification systems for a total package of 404m €.<ref>{{cite web|title=Signed Rockets, Missiles and Munitions Project Agreements|url=http://www.ssm.gov.tr/anasayfa/hizli/duyurular/kurumsalDuyurular/Sayfalar/2009FaaliyetRaporu.aspx|work=Undersecretariat for Defense Industries|accessdate=20 June 2010|page=74|language=Turkish|format=pdf}}</ref><br />
<br />
==Combat service==<br />
With production having begun in 1994, the ERYX had remained untested in live combat until in 2008. While having no notable experience, the ERYX has seen deployment in Afghanistan and UN peace-keeping operations. The [[Canadian Forces]] has deployed Eryx to Afghanistan but except for the Mirabel thermal imager, the ERYX missile has never been used in operations. <ref>{{cite web|url=http://communities.canada.com/ottawacitizen/blogs/defencewatch/archive/2009/12/14/canadian-army-eryx-missile-system-being-cannibalized-to-keep-it-going-until-2016.aspx|title=CANADIAN ARMY ERYX MISSILE SYSTEM BEING CANNIBALIZED TO KEEP IT GOING UNTIL 2016|date=DEC 14 2009|first1=|last1=y|first2=|last2=l}}</ref><br />

'''Brimstone''' is an advanced air-launched [[anti-tank guided missile]] developed by [[MBDA]].<br />
<br />
==Development==<br />
The missile was designed to meet the [[Royal Air Force|RAF's]] requirement for a long range anti-armour weapon, allowing [[strike aircraft]] to attack tanks and armoured vehicles at stand-off range, replacing the [[BL755]] [[cluster bomb]]. This requirement was issued following an assessment of the British military's performance in the [[Gulf War]]. [[GEC-Marconi]] (whose missile interests now form part of MBDA) was originally awarded the contract on November 7, 1996.<ref>[http://typhoon.starstreak.net/common/AG/brimstone.html Brimstone Contract Announced - November 1996]</ref><br />
<br />
<br />
The first ground firing of the Brimstone missile occurred in August 1999 followed by the first air-launched firing [[RAF Tornado GR4|Tornado GR4]] in September 2000. Clearance of the missile was delayed by 12 months due to the unavailability of a Tornado trials aircraft, as the RAF chose instead to rush the development of the [[Storm Shadow]]. <br />
<br />
In March 2005, Brimstone entered service with [[No. 31 Squadron RAF]].<ref name="MOD1">[http://www.mod.uk/DefenceInternet/DefenceNews/EquipmentAndLogistics/ModsFormidableNewAntiArmourWeaponRecordsTrialsSuccesses.htm MoD's formidable new anti armour weapon records trials successes]</ref> Full Operational Capability (FOC) was declared for the Tornado GR4 in December 2005.<ref name="MOD1"/><ref>[http://ir.baesystems.com/bae/shareholder_info/communications/2006/2006-02-01/ BAE SYSTEMS Investor Brief - January 2006]</ref><br />
<br />
==Design==<br />
Brimstone is a "[[fire and forget]]" missile, which is loaded with targeting data by the [[Weapon systems officer|Weapon Systems Officer]] (WSO) prior to launch. Technically, it is programmable to adapt to particular mission requirements. This capability includes essentially the ability to find targets within a certain area (such as those near friendly forces), and to [[self-destruct]] if it is unable to find a target within the designated area. This information is provided to the munition by the WSO from RAF [[Raytheon Sentinel|ASTOR]], USAF [[JSTARS]] aircraft or local troops. <br />
<br />
Brimstone has a [[Tandem-charge|Tandem Shaped Charge (TSC)]] warhead that employs a smaller initial charge, designed to initiate [[reactive armor]], followed by a larger, more destructive charge, designed to penetrate and defeat the base armour.<br />
<br />
The missile airframe is developed from Boeing's [[AGM-114 Hellfire]], but Brimstone is an all-new design with its own motor, warhead and seeker.<ref>''British Secret Projects; Hypersonics, Ramjets & Missiles'', Chris Gibson and Tony Buttler, Midlands Publishing, 2007, ISBN 978-1-85780-280-0</ref><br />
<br />
===Sensors===<br />
In addition to the semi-autonomous ability to decide its own targets, the Brimstone has the capacity to determine where on a target to best impact causing the most damage or resulting in elimination of the target.<br />
The missile's advanced sensor package includes its [[extremely high frequency]] millimetric wave radar, which allows the weapon to image the target and hence chose a target location. The bandwidth of the MMW radar also makes it less susceptible to inclement weather. With as many as twenty-four missiles in the air, the missile's targeting system also required an [[algorithm]] to ensure that missiles hit their targets in a staggered order, rather than all simultaneously. <br />
===Launch system===<br />
Each launch system incorporates three rails, i.e. one system carries three missiles. This allows a single aircraft to carry large numbers of missiles, for example a [[Eurofighter Typhoon|Typhoon]] can carry eight launch systems on eight individual pylons, which gives a maximum payload of twenty-four Brimstone missiles, in addition to a useful [[air-to-air]] payload. In RAF service the missile will be carried by the [[Tornado GR4]], the [[Eurofighter Typhoon]] and the [[RAF Harrier II|Harrier GR9]].<br />
<br />
In addition to air launched platforms Brimstone can also be deployed from surface launchers, vehicles and helicopters.<br />

The '''Main Battle Tank and Light Armour Weapon''' ('''MBT LAW''') is a disposable, man-portable, short range [[fire-and-forget]] [[anti-tank guided missile]] system.<br />
<br />
==Overview==<br />
The MBT LAW was developed by [[Saab Bofors Dynamics]], using technology derived from the [[BILL 2 Anti-tank guided weapon|BILL 2]] (warhead and guidance), and [[AT4 CS]] (confined space capability) systems. It is a soft-launch system, allowing it to be used from within an enclosed room. In this system, the rocket is first launched out of launcher using a low powered ignition. After the rocket travels several seconds into flight, its main rocket ignition occurs which propels to rocket from there on, to the target.<br />
<br />
The portable, short range, fire-and-forget system will enter service in 2009 (as the NLAW (Next Generation Anti-tank Weapon)) to replace the British Army's existing LAW 80 system that is reaching its obsolescence, as well as the ILAW (AT4 CS) (Interim Lightweight Anti-tank Weapon) which is in current deployment as a substitute for the period in which the MBT-LAW is yet to be deployed. Deliveries began in December 2008.<br />

'''Spike''' is a fourth generation<ref name=4thgen>{{cite web |url=http://defense-update.com/features/du-2-07/helicopters_EO_missiles.htm |title=Defense Update issue 2-07 (May - June 2007) : Electro-Optically Guided Weapons |publisher=Defense-Update.Com |accessdate=1 July 2010}}</ref> Man-portable [[fire-and-forget]] [[anti-tank guided missile]] with [[Tandem-charge]]d [[High explosive anti-tank warhead|HEAT warhead]], developed and designed by the [[Israel]]i company [[Rafael Advanced Defense Systems]] and in service with a number of nations.<br />
<br />
As well as engaging and destroying targets within the line-of-sight of the launcher ("Fire-and-forget"), some variants of the missile are capable of making a [[top-attack]] profile through a "Fire, Observe and Update" guidance method;<ref name=4thgen/> the operator tracking the target, or switching to another target, optically through the trailing [[Optical fiber|fiber-optic wire]] while the missile is climbing to altitude after launch. This is similar to the lofted trajectory flight profile of the US [[FGM-148 Javelin]].<br />
<br />
==Design==<br />
[[File:Spike LR 3.jpg|thumb|left|Israeli soldier with ''Gil'' type Spike launcher]]<br />
<br />
Spike is a fire-and-forget missile with lock-on before launch and automatic self-guidance. The missile is equipped with an [[imaging infrared]] seeker. <br />
<br />
The medium, long and extended range versions of the Spike also have the capability of "Fire, Observe and Update" operating mode. The missile is connected by a fiber-optical wire that is spooled out between the launch position and the missile. With this the operator can obtain a target if it is not in the line of sight of the operator at launch, switch targets in flight, or compensate for the movement of the target if the missile is not tracking the target for some reason. Hence, the missile can be fired speculatively for a target of opportunity, or for to give an observation on the other side of an obstacle. The missile has a [[soft launch]] capability - the motor firing after the missile has left the launcher- which allows for the missile to be fired from confined spaces, which is a necessity in urban warfare.<br />
<br />
The missile uses a [[tandem warhead]] - two [[shaped charge]]s, a precursor warhead to detonate any explosive [[reactive armor]] and a primary warhead to penetrate the underlying armor. Currently, it is replacing aging [[SACLOS|second generation anti-tank missiles]] like the [[MILAN]] and [[M47 Dragon]] in the armies of the [[#Operators|user nations]].<br />
<br />
The Spike system is made up of the launching tripod with its fire control unit and the missile. There is no dedicated thermal sight on the launcher - the missile's imaging seeker is used. Altogether, the long range variant of the system weighs around {{convert|26|kg|lb|abb=on}}<br />
<br />
Spike can be operated from the launcher by infantry, or from mounts that can be fitted to vehicles such as [[fast attack vehicle]]s, [[armored personnel carrier]]s or utility vehicles. Vehicles that are not normally fitted with anti-tank weapons can therefore be given anti-tank capability. <br />
<br />
Spike has been tested as a weapon system for the [[SAGEM Sperwer]] [[unmanned aerial vehicle]]. The [[Spanish Army]] has fitted the Spike-ER to its [[Eurocopter Tiger]] attack helicopters.{{Clarify|instead of anything carried on other nations Tigers, or in addition?|date=June 2010}}<br />
<br />
==Marketing==<br />
In order to ease the selling of the weapon system in [[Europe]], the company EuroSpike GmbH was formed in Germany. Its shareholders [[Diehl BGT Defence]] (40%), [[Rheinmetall|Rheinmetall Defence Electronics]] (40%) and Rafael via ERCAS B.V (20%). ERCAS B.V. is a Dutch holding company owned 100% by Rafael. EuroSpike GmbH is located in [[Röthenbach an der Pegnitz|Röthenbach]], [[Germany]]. The Spike weapon system differs a little from the Israeli version and is then marketed under the name '''[[STN Atlas]] EuroSpike'''.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.eurospike.com/company.html |title=EuroSpike GmbH |publisher=EuroSpike GmbH |accessdate=1 July 2010}}</ref><br />

'''MAPATS''' ('''''Ma'''n '''P'''ortable '''A'''nti-'''T'''ank '''S'''ystem'', also a [[Hebrew Language|Hebrew]] word for [[explosion]]) is a [[laser beam|laser]]-[[beam riding]] [[anti-tank guided missile]] developed by [[Israel Military Industries]] as a possible successor to [[U.S.]] [[wire-guided]] [[BGM-71 TOW]].<br />
<br />
MAPATS is capable of day and night operation, while the gunner has to direct his [[laser designator]] on the target until the missile impacts. First revealed in 1984, it has no trailing wire; so it can be fired over water at naval targets or from sea to land, unlike [[wire-guided]] [[ATGM]]s. The launcher has an elevation capacity up to +30°, so MAPATS can be used in the anti-helicopter role. Externally, MAPATS is very similar in appearance to the [[BGM-71 TOW|TOW 2]].<br />
<br />
== Versions ==<br />
<br />
The newer version of MAPATS, developed in the early 1990s, has a new engine and better laser guidance. Some new warheads were developed by [[Rafael Advanced Defense Systems]], including the tandem [[HEAT]] warhead and the HE bunker buster warhead.<br />

'''Nag''' ([[Sanskrit language|Sanskrit]]: नाग, [[Indic transliteration|Nāg]] ''"Cobra"'') is a third generation "[[Fire-and-forget]]" [[Anti-tank guided missile|anti-tank missile]] developed in [[India]]. It is one of five missile systems developed by the [[Defence Research and Development Organisation]] (DRDO) under the [[Integrated Guided Missile Development Program]] (IGMDP). Nag has been developed at a cost of [[Rs]] 300 [[crore]].<ref name = "nag induction">[http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/Nag_anti-tank_missile_back_in_reckoning/articleshow/3225233.cms Nag anti-tank missile back in reckoning]</ref><br />
<br />
===Technical Characteristics===<br />
<br />
As originally conceived, the Nag would have been available with three different types of guidance, These included a wire guided version, an infra-red version and a millimetric wave (mmW) version. The cumbersome nature of a wire guidance system had led to plans for this being dropped. Currently, guidance is based on an imaging infra-red (IIR) passive seeker that ensures a high-hit accuracy in both top- and front-attack modes.<br />
<br />
The mmW seeker, on the other hand, is intended to operate as an optional system that can replace the IIR passive seeker as a module. Also incorporated into the guidance system, is a CCD camera. The advantage of this optical seeker is that it is less prone to jamming. The missile has a weight of 42 kg and can engage targets at ranges 4-5 km. The Nag is claimed to be first anti-tank missile which has a complete fiberglass structure.<br />
<br />
Another advantage of the missile is property of the propellant. Most missiles leave a plume as the missile heads toward the target. This makes it easier for the target to hide behind cover. In the Nag, however, the plume is visible only during the first one second of flight, as the missile's booster imparts 90% of the velocity, following which, a sustainer maintains the missile's speed, burning a smokeless propellant that is almost invisible.<br />
<br />
The Nag has a flight speed of 230 metres per second, is armed with a 8kg tandem shaped-charge warhead, has a rocket motor using nitramine-based smokeless extruded double band sustainer propellant, has a single-shot hit probability of 0.77 and a CEP of 0.9 metres, and has a 10-year maintenance-free shelf-life.<br />
<br />
The Nag will be produced in two main basic variants. The land version has been tested from a tracked vehicle known as NAMICA (Nag Missile Carrier). With the IR version of the missile, targets are acquired using a thermal sight, and are then assigned to the nose-mounted IIR seeker.<br />
<br />
Missile guidance is initially by area correlation around the target, then by centroid tracking. Terminal homing is by area correlation around the centroid. <br />
<br />
Nag will be configured to be used on the [[Advanced Light Helicopter]](ALH) and the [[Light Combat Helicopter]](LCH). This version will be known as HELINA (HELIcopter NAg). Eight missiles are carried in two quadruple launchers. Launchers mounted on either side are linked to a nose-mounted stabilized thermal sight and a laser range-finder package.<br />
<br />
The NAMICA version of the missile is a 'lock-on before launch' system. This is where the target is identified and designated before the missile is launched. As the targeting system is based on visual identification, the range is limited. The HELINA version on the other hand will use a 'lock-on after launch' system extending its range to 7km. In this scenario, the missile is launched in the general direction of the target. As it approaches the target, images of the area ahead are sent back to the operator who will be able to identify enemy tanks. The command to lock on to a tank is then passed onto the seeker through an uplink mid-flight. After that, the missile homes in onto the target and destroys it.<ref name="ix182"></ref><br />
<br />
<br />
===Advanced Variants===<br />
In addition to basic land and helicopter variants the DRDO is now developing number of advanced variants of the Nag missile: <br />
*'''Helina''', (HELIcopter launched NAg)with a range of 7-8 km, launched from twin-tube stub wing-mounted launchers on board the armed [[HAL Dhruv]] and [[HAL Light Combat Helicopter]] produced by state-owned Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd (HAL). It will be structurally different from the Nag. The Helina will make use of an IIR seeker for target engagement like the Nag. The Helina is expected to be tested by the end of 2010.<br />
*'''land version''', will also have its range extended by development of a mast-mounted missile launcher that will be hydraulically raised out to a height of five metres to enable the Nag missile to acquire its targets out to a distance of 7-8 km.<br />
*'''Air-launched''', 10 km-range variant launched from tactical interdiction aircraft like the upgraded Jaguar IS. It will use a nose-mounted millimetric-wave active radar seeker.<br />
*'''Man portable''', DRDL will also start working on the,`Man Portable' Nag very soon. It would weigh less than 14 kg.<ref>http://www.thehindubusinessline.com/2005/03/25/stories/2005032501700400.htm</ref><br />
<br />
===Namica===<br />
[[NAMICA]] (Nag Missile Carrier)is a tracked ICV built for the army. It is equipped with a thermal imager for target acquisition. NAMICA is a modified [[BMP-2]] ICV produced as "Sarath" in India. The carrier weights 14.5 tonnes in full combat load and is capable of moving 7 km/h in water. The carriers are capable of carrying 12 missiles with 8 in ready-to-fire mode. The NAMICA carrier was put through transportation trials covering 155 km during summer trials. <ref>[http://www.hindu.com/2008/08/06/stories/2008080651801400.htm Nag missile testfired ]</ref><br />
<br />
<br />
== Status ==<br />
Nag was successfully test fired for the second day in a row on August 8, 2008 from the [[Rocket range|Test Range]] at [[Pokhran]], [[Rajastan]], marking the completion of the developmental tests. The DRDO and [[Indian Army]] plan to hold the user trial shortly.<ref name = "nag news">[http://www.hindu.com/2008/08/07/stories/2008080754951400.htm Nag test-fired again ]</ref> These trials will be the final trials to decide the induction of the missiles. <ref>[http://frontierindia.net/nag-missile-to-be-tested-by-indian-army-in-july Nag Missile to be tested by Indian Army in July]</ref> The NAMICA carrier successfully completed its amphibious trials in the [[Indira Gandhi Canal]] at [[Rajastan]] on August 8, 2008.<ref>[http://www.hindu.com/2008/08/08/stories/2008080856751400.htm Namica amphibious trial successful ]</ref><br />
<br />
The [[Indian Army]] has placed an order of 443 Nag missiles and 13 Namicas for introduction in the next 3 years.<ref name = "nag induction"/> Nag will be the first weapon of such kind that will be inducted into the army by November-December of 2009. The Army urgently needs the more advanced Nag to improve kill probability as the missile using a high explosive warhead to penetrate the armor in modern tanks. <ref name = "nag news"/><br />
<br />
As part of the winter trial of the final user trials the Nag missile was tested successfully by the Indian Army on December 26, 2008. Before the induction of the missile into service and the summer trials will be carried out in June 2009.<ref>[http://www.khabrein.info/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=18796&Itemid=57 India successfully test fires anti-tank missile ]</ref> <br />
<br />
During the winter trials the Nag missile zeroed in on the precise location of the target tank at a distance of 3.3 km, as required by the Indian Army. The Indian Army is also extremely satisfied with the performance of the warhead of the missile.<ref>[http://www.hindu.com/2008/12/26/stories/2008122655801200.htm Anti-tank Nag missile test-fired successfully]</ref> The test conducted on 28th December 2008 was successfully completed by the Indian Army. During the test a moving target at 1.8 km was targeted in the top attack mode and a stationary target at a distance of 3.1 km. The two targets were completely destroyed.<ref>[http://www.hindu.com/2008/12/29/stories/2008122959211100.htm Two flight tests of Nag missile successful]</ref> A total of five missiles were fired during day and night against stationary and moving targets. Summer trials were completed in the summer of 2009. <ref>[http://www.hindu.com/2008/12/31/stories/2008123155171100.htm Army may induct Nag missile soon]</ref><br />
<br />
In July 2009 the Nag anti-tank guided missile (ATGM) was cleared for production <ref>[http://www.defensenews.com/story.php?i=4177415 India Clears Anti-Tank Nag Missile for Production]</ref>. The production of the Nag missile was ordered after successful summer trials were carried out in the Rajasthan desert. <br />
<br />
The trials of the missile were conducted using an advanced imaging infrared seeker head, as per Army's requirements. On 20 January 2010, field tests of the Nag’s Thermal Sight system saw the system identify and lock on to a T-55 tank at a range of 5 km. The tank was then engaged and destroyed at a range of over 4 km [12] thus the missile’s fire-and-forget capability has been established using the day version of the IIR passive seeker.In its IIR form the Nag has limited all weather capability. This has given added impetus to develop the mmW seeker. Efforts are on to provide special embedded on-board hunters, that can hunt for targets using ‘day seekers’ and ‘day-&-night seekers’. During trials in June 2010, the short range capability of the missile to hit targets was validated. Nag missile hit a target at a range of half a kilometers in just 3 seconds.<ref>[http://beta.thehindu.com/news/national/article448188.ece Nag hits target in three seconds after launch]</ref> In the follow on test a moving target was hit within 3.2 seconds after launch.<ref>[http://www.thehindu.com/2010/06/14/stories/2010061455271200.htm Nag hits a moving target in 3.2 seconds]</ref><br />
<br />
The Nag will replace the existing Russian Konkours and European missile Milan, both of which are manufactured under license by Bharat Dynamics Limited.India’s anti-tank guided missiles, which are competitively priced and had been bought by [[Tanzania]], [[Botswana]] and [[Morocco]].<ref name="export"/><ref>http://www.siliconindia.com/shownews/India_seeks_to_boost_military_exports_to_Gulf___-nid-18916.html</ref>An Indian official said a country in the Middle East had shown keen interest in Nag anti-tank guided missiles during Abu Dhabi Defence Expo-2009.<br />

The '''LAHAT''' ('''''La'''ser '''H'''oming '''At'''tack'' or '''''La'''ser '''H'''oming '''A'''nti-'''T'''ank'', also a [[Hebrew Language|Hebrew]] word for [[incandescence]]) is a semi-active laser homing low-weight [[anti-tank guided missile]] developed since 1992 and manufactured by [[Israel Aerospace Industries]]. It was designed primarily to be fired by [[Merkava]] [[tank]]s' 105 mm and 120 mm [[tank gun]]s, though it matches all types of 105 mm and 120 mm guns, including low recoil guns, low-weight guns of military [[Armored car (military)|armoured car]]s. Also suitable for [[patrol ship]]s, possibly modified for 105-106 mm [[recoilless rifle]]s, [[Unmanned aerial vehicle|UAVs]], [[HMMWV]]s, [[SPAAG]]s. Unlike other tank rounds, LAHAT does not need a tank gun for operation.<br />
<br />
LAHAT has a semi-active [[laser guidance]] system, capable of both direct and indirect [[laser designation]] - target can be laser-designated by the launching platform (i.e firing tank) or other platform (i.e another tank, [[helicopter]], UAV, or forward scouting team), requiring minimal exposure in the firing position. With a low launch signature, the missile’s trajectory can be set to match either [[armoured fighting vehicle]], warship, (top attack) or [[helicopter gunship]] (direct attack) engagements.<br />
<br />
It has a range of 6-8 km when launched from a ground platform, and up to 8-13 km, when deployed from high elevation. The missile hits the target at an accuracy of 0.7 meter [[Circular Error Probable|CEP]] and an angle of over 30 degrees, providing effective penetration of up to 800 mm of armor steel with its [[tandem warhead]] to deal with add-on [[reactive armor]]. LAHAT might also carry embedded [[active protection system]] countermeasure capabilities. In any tank the LAHAT is stowed like other rounds in the ammunition rack, and handled just like any other type of ammunition.<br />

The '''9K115-2''' ''Metis-M'' is a [[Russia]]n [[anti-tank missile]] system. "9K115-2" is the [[GRAU]] designation of the missile. Its [[NATO reporting name]] is '''AT-13''' ''Saxhorn-2''.<br />
<br />
The system is designed to augment the combat power of [[Company (military unit)|company-level]]<br />
[[motorized units]].<br />
<br />
==Combat history==<br />
According to accounts by [[Israeli military]], weapons seized from Hezbollah and journalists accounts from Lebanon, the Metis-M was used successfully by [[Hezbollah]] fighters during the [[2006 Lebanon war]] against [[Merkava]] tanks.{{Citation needed|date=May 2010}}<br />
Russia released a press statement disputing the claim that it had been supplying modern anti-tank weapons to Hezbollah; the Israelis' original claim, however, was in fact that Russian weapons which were sold to Syria which in turn smuggled the weapons to Hezbollah.<ref>[http://en.rian.ru/russia/20060810/52496375.html Russia denies sending anti-tank weapons to Hizbollah - ministry - rian.ru]</ref> Israel has sent a team of officials to Moscow to show the Russians the evidence of what they say can only be Syrian weapons transfers.<ref>[http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/4794829.stm Tough lessons for Israeli armour - BBC]</ref> To date, Russia has not commented on the weapon proliferation, although it has moved to tighten control over the use of Russian-made weapons by the importing states.<br />
<br />
==Overview==<br />
The Metis-M system adds to the usual positive qualities of a grenade launcher with sharp improvements in range, accuracy and lethality. Owing to the small dimensions and light weight of its components, this manportable system can be carried by its crew in compact packs over any distance and over a wide variety of terrain types—including stream crossing. The three-man crew carries personal weapons and an ammunition load of five missiles. One crew member carries a pack with a missile-loaded launcher, which considerably reduces the time of fire preparation and allows the crew to engage targets whilst moving. In the event of sudden appearance of a target, the operator can fire from the shoulder with the launcher rested against a local object. Two other crew members carry packs with two missiles each.<br />
<br />
==Features==<br />
* changes from the traveling to the firing position—and vice versa—in 15 – 20 seconds;<br />
* firing rate of 3 - 4 rounds per minute;<br />
* fired from organized and deployed sites in the prone and standing foxhole positions as well as from combat vehicles;<br />
* can be shipped by any type of transport and can be air-dropped.<br />
<br />
The Metis-M system comprises:<br />
* combat assets;<br />
* maintenance facilities;<br />
* training aids.<br />
<br />
The combat assets of the Metis-M system include:<br />
* 9M131 (9M131F) [[ATGM]];<br />
* 9P151 launcher;<br />
* 1PBN86-VI [[Thermography|thermal sight]].<br />
<br />
==Guidance==<br />
The Metis-M ATGM system has a semi-automatic [[guidance system]], with commands transmitted over a wire link. The guidance system is constructed so that the most sophisticated and costly components, such as a gyroscopic coordinator, electronic units and an onboard battery, are excluded from the missile.<br />

'''UMTAS''' ''(Uzun Menzilli Tanksavar Sistemi)'' is a long range [[air-to-surface missile|air-to-surface]] [[anti-tank missile]] developed by [[Turkey|Turkish]] [[weapon]]s manufacturer [[Roketsan]]<ref>http://www.janes.com/articles/Janes-Air-Launched-Weapons/UMTAS-Long-Range-Anti-Tank-System-Turkey.html</ref>. UMTAS program was initiated in [[2005]] by [[Turkey]]'s ''Undersecretariat of the Defence Industry'', specifically to provide [[TAI/AgustaWestland T-129|TAI T-129 ATAK]] combat [[helicopter]]s with an indigenously produced [[guided missile]]. UMTAS missile features [[fire and forget]] [[infrared]] [[guidance system|guidance]] and a tandem [[anti-armor]] [[warhead]]. It is capable of engaging targets at 8 [[kilometer]]s. Roketsan is also planning to produce versions of the missile that can be land vehicle-launched and intends to offer the UMTAS for export.<br />
<br />
It is envisaged that the UMTAS missile will exceed the performance of the US made Hellfire missile and also the Israeli Spike-ER missiles.<br />

The '''PARS 3 LR''' in [[Germany|German]] service, also known as '''TRIGAT-LR''' (Third Generation AntiTank, Long Range) and '''AC 3G''' in [[France|French]], is a currently (2008) in development [[fire-and-forget]] [[missile]] which can be used against air or ground targets. It is intended for long range applications, and designed to defeat [[tank]]s, [[helicopter]]s and other individual targets while minimizing the exposure of the launch vehicle to enemy fire. It is to be the main weapon system of the [[Eurocopter Tiger]] UHT and HAD helicopters. Trigat missiles will be able to be fired in salvos of up to four in eight seconds. The missile can be applied in direct attack or [[top-attack]] modes.<br />
<br />
==Development==<br />
The German-led program was initiated by [[Germany]], [[France]] and the [[UK]]. After Britain dropped out, only Germany and France remained. Prime contractors were [[Diehl BGT Defence]] (manufacture and development) of Germany and [[LFK]] of Germany, now a subsidiary of [[EADS]] of Germany and France.<br />
A lighter, medium ranged and man-portable version called ''Trigat-MR'' (MR for Medium Range) was also planned and was later cancelled. This project evolved into the proposed ''Trigan'' system which is based on the ''[[MILAN|MILAN 3]]'' firing posts and the ''Trigat-MR'' missile.[http://www.army-technology.com/projects/milan/]<br />
<br />
Also France withdrew from the program due to funding problems in 2004.<br />
<br />
On June 30th, 2006, Germany ordered 680 PARS 3 LR missiles for 380 million [[Euro]]s. Deliveries will begin in 2010.<br />

The '''Kornet''' ({{lang-ru|"Корнет"}}; {{lang-en|[[Cornet]]}}) is a [[Military of Russia|Russian]] [[anti-tank missile]] (ATGM). It is a heavy ATGM intended to replace an older generation of missiles in the Russian inventory, Kornet was designed to deal with current and future generations of [[main battle tank]]s and can also be used to engage slow and low flying aerial targets like [[helicopter]]s<ref name="KBP">{{cite web |url=http://www.kbptula.ru/eng/atgw/kornet.htm |title=KORNET-E ANTITANK MISSILE SYSTEM |accessdate=2008-11-08 |work=KBP Instrument Design Bureau |date=2008}}</ref>. The missile carries the [[GRAU]] designation '''9M133''' and the [[NATO reporting name]] '''AT-14 Spriggan'''<ref name="FAS">{{cite web |url=http://www.fas.org/man/dod-101/sys/land/row/at-14.htm) |title=Kornet (AT-14) |accessdate=2008-11-08 |work=Federation of American Scientists |date=1999-06-19}}</ref>.<br />
<br />
==Development==<br />
The Kornet anti-tank missile was first unveiled in October 1994 by the [[KBP Instrument Design Bureau]]<ref name="FAS"/>. The missile had started development in 1988 as a modular, universal system able to engage any target from a mix of platforms using a reliable laser beam guidance system that was simple to use. It is a heavy ATGM intended to replace the earlier [[9K111 Fagot]] (NATO: AT-4 Spigot) and [[9K113 Konkurs]] (NATO: AT-5 Spandrel) wire-guided ATGMs in both vehicle and tripod mounts<ref name="NAROD">{{cite web |url=http://www.btvt.narod.ru/4/kornet.htm |title=ПТРК «КОРНЕТ» |accessdate=2008-11-08 |work=btvt.narod.ru (Russian) |date=2003-2008}}</ref>. The missile is believed to have also entered service in the Russian army in 1994<ref>http://www.deagel.com/Anti-Armor-Weapons-and-Missiles/Kornet_a001010001.aspx</ref>, its export designation is the Kornet-E<ref name="KBP"/>.<br />
<br />
==Description==<br />
The new KORNET Anti Tank Missiles are categorized of the Third Generation ATGM, the Laser system used is protected against jamming. This missile system is the only one that is to be considered a shoulder by shoulder with the new Anti Tank Missile Systems called Fire&Forget. It has been proven that this missile is effective in urban wars against many of well known tanks like the Israeli Merkava 3, the American M1 Abrams Main Battle Tank, Stryker and even the russian BTR-90 & BMP. These evidence of the KORNET effectiveness showed up in the recent Hezbullah war with Israel, and also in the Iraqi war. The 9M133 missile itself is supersonic with a range of between 100 and 5500 meters (3500 meters at night)<ref name="NAROD"/>. Propulsion is by way of a single solid fuel [[rocket]] motor with two exhausts on either side of the missile. The off-set exhausts cause the missile to spin during flight with guidance control provided by two pop-out control surfaces on the front of the missile (four additional surfaces help stabilise the missile during flight). The Kornet user [[laser]] [[SACLOS]] guidance system, the laser directed by the operator, targets need to be continually illuminated and a sensor in the rear section enables the missile to ride the laser beam to the target. The guidance system ensures protection against [[electronic countermeasures]] and operation in all climatic conditions, day or night. Each missile carries a [[tandem HEAT]] with a reported penetration of 1000-1200 mm [[Rolled homogeneous armour|RHA]] behind [[explosive reactive armour]] (ERA)<ref name="Ros">{{cite web |url=http://www.rusarm.ru/cataloque/lanforces_cataloque.html |title=Land Forces Weapons Export Catalogue 2003 |accessdate=2008-11-17 |publisher=Rosoboronexport}}</ref>, alternatively a thermobaric warhead can be carried to engage soft-skinned targets, fortifications and manpower<ref name="NAROD"/>.<br />
<br />
The 9M133 missile together with its 9P163-1 tripod launcher and 1PN79-1 thermal sight forms the 9K123 missile system<ref name="Ros"/>, the 9K123 can be carried and operated by a two infantry crew. In addition to an infantary portable version the 9K133 the system has been integrated into a variety of other vehicles and weapons systems as either an upgrade package or new weapon system. The 9K133 has been fitted into a [[BMP-3]] to form the 9P163M-1 [[tank destroyer]] and is similar in function to the [[Khrizantema]] missile system. The 9P163M-1 carries two 9M133 missiles on launch rails which are extended from a stowed position during transit. Missile are re-loaded automatically by the tank destroyer from an internal magazine with 16 rounds (missiles are stored and transported in sealed canisters)<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.defense-update.com/products/k/kornet-e.htm |title=Kornet E Laser Guided Anti-Tank Missile |accessdate=2008-11-17 |work=Defence Update |date=2006-07-26}}</ref>. [[NBC]] protection is provided for the two crew (gunner and driver) of each 9P163M-1 in addition to full armour protection equivalent to the standard BMP-3 chassist. The guidance system of the 9P163M-1 allows two missiles to be fired at once, the missiles operating on different guidance (laser) channels.<br />
<br />
The KBP Instrument Design Bureau has also marketed the 9K133 system as part of the KVARTET for mounting on vehicles and boats, the system has four missiles on ready to launch rails along with associated guidance and sighting system all packaged in a single turret. The turret has space for an additional five rounds and is operated by a single individual, the guidance system also allows two missiles to be fired at once<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.kbptula.ru/eng/atgw/kvartet.htm |title=KVARTET SYSTEM WITH KORNET-E ANTITANK MISSILES |accessdate=2008-11-17 |work=KBP Instrument Design Bureau |date=2008}}</ref>. Another upgrade possibility is the KLIVER missile and gun turret, seen as an upgrade option for the BTR series of [[Armoured personnel carrier|APC]], [[BMP-1]] [[IFV]] and patrol boats. It has a similar capabilities as the KVARTET turret but also carries a 30 mm 2A72 cannon, the turret weight is 1500 kg<ref name="army">{{cite web |url=http://www.army-technology.com/projects/kornet/ |title=Kornet E Anti-Armour Missile, Russia |accessdate=2008-11-17 |work=Army-technology.com |date=2008}}</ref>.

==Combat history==<br />
During the [[2003 invasion of Iraq]], Kornets were rumoured to have been used by [[Iraq]]i forces to disable [[USA|American]] [[M1 Abrams]] [[tank]]s. [[GlobalSecurity.org]] claims that at least two [[M1 Abrams]] tanks and one [[M2/M3 Bradley Fighting Vehicle|M2 Bradley]] [[infantry fighting vehicle]] were disabled by Kornets.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/world/russia/at-14.htm|publisher=[[GlobalSecurity.org]]|title=Kornet (AT-14)}}</ref><br />
<br />
The first verified episode of Kornet ATGM in combat use occurred during the [[2006 Lebanon War]], where the missiles, reportedly supplied by [[Syria]], were successfully used by [[Hezbollah]] fighters to destroy and damage [[Israel]]i [[Merkava]] tanks<ref>{{cite web |url=http://mdb.cast.ru/mdb/2-2007/item2/item1/ |title=Russian Anti-Armour Weapons and Israeli Tanks in Lebanon |accessdate=2008-11-18 |work=Moscow Defence Brief |date=2007}}</ref>. One of the first detailed accounts of [[Israel Defense Forces|IDF]]'s successful capture of Kornet ATGMs on Hezbollah positions in the village of Ghandouriyeh appeared in the [[Daily Telegraph]] article, which also reported that the boxes were marked with "Customer: Ministry of Defense of Syria.

<div>[[Image:Mokopa (Impi).jpg|350px|right|thumb|Mokopa SAL]]<br />
<br />
The '''Mokopa''' is a [[South Africa]]n air-to-ground [[missile]], designed primarily for use as an [[anti-tank]] weapon. It is currently in its final stages of development, and is being integrated onto the [[South African Air Force]]'s [[Rooivalk]] attack [[helicopter]]s. The missile is produced by [[Denel Dynamics]], formerly Kentron. The current version utilises Semi-Active Laser (SAL) guidance, requiring the target to be illuminated by a [[laser designator]] either on the launch platform or elsewhere; though there are alternative guidance packages available including a millimetre-wave [[radar]] (MMW) seeker and a two-colour imaging [[infrared]] (IIR) seeker.<br />
<br />
All variants of the Mokopa feature two launch modes, Lock-On Before Launch (LOBL) and Lock-On After Launch (LOAL). LOBL is the older, more conventional mode of missile launching, where the target has to be illuminated by the launch platform before launch. LOAL on the other hand allows the launch platform to launch the missile even though it may not be in sight of the target. In terms of the SAL version, this would then allow either the launch platform to move into place and only illuminate the target immediately prior to the missile striking the target, or it would allow an observer on the ground equipped with a laser designator to guide the missile in. This method of launching greatly reduces the exposure time of the launch platform to enemy fire.<br />
<br />
==Development==<br />
Full scale development of the Mokopa began in November 1996, due to the ongoing [[United States]] arms embargo against South Africa making acquisition of the [[AGM-114 Hellfire]] impossible. The first air-launched tests from a Rooivalk helicopter took place in 1999, with the first guided tests following in 2000. As of 2005 the missile's development is virtually complete, and the first batches are currently being delivered to the SA Air Force's Rooivalk squadron. However, as the Rooivalk system is only expected to be fully operational by 2008, the intervening three years will be used to refine tactics and iron out any possible minor flaws in the missile's construction.<br />
<br />
==Launch vehicles and platforms==<br />
Though primarily designed to be launched from a helicopter, the Mokopa has been tested on a variety of platforms, including its mounting on light armoured vehicles and on ships or small boats. For the latter purpose, the Mokopa is available with an [[anti-ship missile|anti-ship]] warhead.<br />
<br />
==Warhead==<br />
The Mokopa uses a powerful tandem [[Shaped charge|shaped-charge]], [[high explosive anti-tank|high explosive anti-tank (HEAT)]] [[warhead]], capable of penetrating over 1,350 mm (almost 4½&nbsp;ft) of [[Rolled homogeneous armour]] (RHA), and also effective against [[Explosive Reactive Armour]] (ERA). This means the Mokopa is able to counter any current vehicle armour threats.<br />
<br />
An anti-ship warhead is also available for customers who wish to use the Mokopa as a ship-board defence weapon, or as the armament of specialised ship-board helicopters.<br />
<br />
==Performance==<br />
The missile is considered to be very accurate, with an accuracy believed to match that of the company's other anti-tank missile, the [[Ingwe (missile)|Ingwe]], at around 300 mm [[Circular Error Probability|CEP]] at maximum range.<br />
<br />
It also has a long range for an anti-tank missile; at 10 km (6.2 mi) it is greater than that of most current competitors, including the [[AGM-114 Hellfire|Hellfire]]. The range is achieved due to an advanced solid-fuel composite [[rocket motor]] (developed by Somchem), which has a relatively slow burning rate compared to similar motors, as well as being essentially smokeless.<br />

'''9A1472 ''Vikhr''''' ({{lang-ru|Вихрь}}, {{lang-en|[[Whirlwind]]}}) is a [[Russia]]n laser guided [[anti-tank missile]] system. "9K121" is the [[GRAU]] designation for this system. Its [[NATO reporting name]] is ''AT-16 Scallion''. The missile is air-launched from the [[Ka-50]], [[Ka-52]] helicopters and [[Su-25|Su-25T]] aircraft. It is believed to have entered service around 1990, having been first shown publicly at the 1992 [[Farnborough Airshow]]. <br />
<br />
The missile is designed to engage vital ground targets, including armoured targets fitted out with built in and add-on [[Reactive armour|explosive reactive armor]], at a range of up to 8&nbsp;km when fired from a helicopter and 10&nbsp;km when fired from a fixed wing aircraft in daytime and up to 5&nbsp;km at night, as well as air targets in conditions of air defense assets activity.<br />
<br />
The Vikhr missile is part of the Vikhr-M system, which also includes an automatic sight and a depressible launcher.<br />
<br />
The automatic sight is provided with TV and IR channels of target sighting,<br />
a laser beam channel of missile control, a laser rangefinder, an automatic<br />
target tracking unit, a digital computer and a system of stabilization<br />
and aiming of sighting and beam channels. The automatic sight<br />
provides for target detection and identification both day and night,<br />
automatic target tracking and missile guidance, and generates exact<br />
information for gun and rocket firing.<br />
The guided missile consists of a [[HEAT]] fragmentation warhead fitted with a contact and a<br />
[[proximity fuze]], an air-dynamic control actuator, control electronics, a<br />
motor and laser detector. It is kept in a sealed launching transporting container.<br />
<br />
The multi-purpose warhead (two-stage [[HEAT]] and an additional fragmentation belt) allows the missile to be used against armoured, airborne and area targets alike. This is an asset compared to the three different missiles required in the [[9M120 Ataka-V]] complex. The use of the proximity fuze allows a near miss of up to 5 m and makes it possible to engage an air target at speeds of 500m/s. <br />
<br />
The Vikhr missile laser beam control system provides for its precise guidance owing to data transmission to the missile in the course of its launch, which is excluded in homing<br />
systems. The Vikhr missile control system has high [[jamming]] immunity<br />
because its receiver faces the carrier, thereby protecting it from jamming<br />
signals.<br />
<br />
The high pinpoint target hit probability (reported 0.95 against stationary targets) is provided by the automatic target tracking system and highly accurate missile control system that<br />
makes allowance for changes in the parameters of the carrier and the target<br />
in the course of firing.<br />
<br />
The missiles can be fired singly or in pairs (at the same target to increase lethality).<br />
<br />
The missiles high-speed flight allows it to engage targets rapidly. The system is capable of launching Vikhr missiles against two to four targets during a 30 second period and starting at a range of 10&nbsp;km, which increases its fire power potential three to four times of earlier systems.<br />
<br />
==Confusion with the [[9M120 Ataka-V]]==<br />
There was much confusion toward the end of the 1980s regarding the latest Soviet anti-tank <br />
systems. The end of the Cold War cleared much of this up but also lead to a general failure <br />
to properly publicise new information. This has resulted in more than ninety percent{{Fact|date=August 2008}} of <br />
books published in the west including incorrect information.<br />
<br />
The most common error is simply confusing the [[9M120 Ataka-V]] complex with the 9A1472 Vikhr <br />
system. These are completely different systems which have been competing for the Russian <br />
market. [[Mil Moscow Helicopter Plant]] favours the former, while [[Sukhoi]] and [[Kamov]] favour the latter. As some foreign [[Mi-24]] derivatives have actually been fitted with the 9A1472 the most reliable way to tell them apart is to look for the number of barrels: eight per launcher for the helicopter borne 9M120 and the fixed wing version of the 9A1472 and six per launcher for the helicopter version of the 9A1472. A four barrel launcher is typical of the [[Igla]] short range anti-aircraft missile. Russia does not use currently four barrel launchers for airborne anti-tank systems although this will possibly change with the next generation of missile (which will probably weigh considerably more).<br />
<br />
After this error the next most common one is in understanding the guidance systems:<br />
* The 9M120 is radio command [[SACLOS]] (Semi-Automatic Command to Line-Of-Sight) and an improved version of the popular [[9K114_Shturm|9K114]] Shturm system carried on the Mi-24V and some ground units. This system gradually loses accuracy at longer ranges (as each as radii as viewed from the launch platform encompasses more space) but can be fired in any conditions where a target can be spotted.<br />
* On the other hand the 9A1472 is a "laser [[beam riding]] missile". When this first became known it caused much confusion in the west. Analysts simply assumed that the Soviet designers(KPB Instrument Design) had produced a weapon similar to the [[AGM-114]] Hellfire which uses [[semi-active laser homing]] (similar to laser guided bombs). Early artist impressions even went so far as to show what appears to be a miniature copy of the Kh-29L (or "[[AS-14]] Kedge" a large semi-active laser guided missile that borrows its aerodynamic design from the [[Vympel R-73|R-73]]). <br />
<br />
When the first good photographs appeared they lead to still more confusion: There was no <br />
visible seeker (causing some to believe it to be an unguided rocket system).<br />
<br />
All of this was a long way from the mark: Russia had developed very different approach. A series of non-imaging detectors <br />
''face-backward'' from the missile toward the launch platform and guide the missile toward <br />
the centre of the laser beam (unlike semi-active laser seekers which aim for laser light <br />
reflect off of the target). This is much cheaper and also more resistant to countermeasures. <br />
<br />
To capitalise on the advantage given by using a lower cost seeker the Soviet designers also produced a new flight control system: <br />
Fixed fins cause the missile to spin in flight and a '''single''' moving control surface <br />
adjust its course during this rotation. The result is that for the same price the West could <br />
build one missile whereas the Soviets could build five. Any loss of effectiveness being partially <br />
counteracted by pilots being encouraged to fire their missiles in pairs.<br />

The '''Khrizantema''' ({{lang-ru|"Хризантема"}}; {{lang-en|[[Chrysanthemum]]}}) is a [[Military of Russia|Russian]] [[anti-tank missile]]. Khrizantema was designed to deal with current and future generations of [[main battle tank]]s, such as the [[M1A2]] and [[Leopard 2]] and can also be used to engage slow and low flying aerial targets like [[helicopter]]s<ref name="KBM">{{cite web |url=http://www.kbm.ru/en/product/atgm/khrizantema-s |title=Khrizantema-S |accessdate=2008-11-06 |work=Konstruktorskoye Byuro Mashynostroyenia |date=2002-2008}}</ref>. The missile carries the [[GRAU]] designation '''9M123''' and the [[NATO reporting name]] '''AT-15 Springer'''<ref name="FAS">{{cite web |url=http://fmso.leavenworth.army.mil/Red-Star/issues/JAN97/JAN97.HTML#THREAT |title=Threat Update: The Khrizantema Missile System |accessdate=2009-05-02 |publisher=Red Thrust Star |work=US Army |author=Michael P. McGeever}}</ref>.<br />
<br />
==Development==<br />
The Khrizantema anti-tank missile was first unveiled in July 1996 by the Konstruktorskoye Byuro Mashynostroyenia (KBM) Engineering Design Bureau<ref name="FAS"/>. The missile had started development in the 1980s and was designed as an all weather, multi-purpose missile system that could defeat current and future armoured units equipped with advanced armour protection like [[explosive reactive armour]] (ERA)<ref name="NAROD">{{cite web |url=http://btvt.narod.ru/4/xrizantema.htm |title=МНОГОЦЕЛЕВОЙ РАКЕТНЫЙ КОМПЛЕКС 9К123 «ХРИЗАНТЕМА-С» |accessdate=2008-11-06 |work=btvt.narod.ru (Russian) |date=2003-2008}}</ref>. Khrizantema was envisaged as a replacement for a variety of different types of anti-tank missile that remained in service with the [[Soviet]] military, such as the [[9K114 Shturm]] and the [[9M120 Ataka-V]]. The system was expected to enter service with the [[Russian armed forces]] in 2004<ref name="NAROD"/>.<br />
<br />
==Description==<br />
The 9M123 missile itself is supersonic, flying at an average speed of 400 m/s or Mach 1.2 <ref name="NAROD"/> and a range of between 400 and 6000 meters<ref name="NAROD"/>. Propulsion is by way of a single solid fuel [[rocket]] motor with two exhausts on either side of the missile. The off-set exhausts cause the missile to spin during flight with guidance control provided by two pop-out control surfaces at the rear of the missile (four additional surfaces help stabilise the missile during flight). The Khrizantema is unique among Russian anti-tank guided missiles as depending on the variant the missile can either be guided by [[laser]] or [[radar]]. The radar guidance mode uses radio command guidance and a millimeter wave radar to track the target and the missile while generating guidance commands, this allows fully automatic target engagement<ref name="KBM"/>. When guided using the a laser, targets need to be continually illumiated, a sensor in the rear section enables the missile to ride the laser beam to the target, this is a [[SACLOS]] guidance system. The guidance system allows two missiles to be fired at two separate targets at once with one missile guided by laser and the other by radar<ref name="FAS"/>. Each missile carries a [[tandem HEAT]] with a reported penetration of 1100-1250&nbsp;mm [[RHA]] behind [[explosive reactive armour]] (ERA)<ref name="Ros">{{cite web |url=http://www.rusarm.ru/cataloque/lanforces_cataloque.html |title=Land Forces Weapons Export Catalogue 2003 |accessdate=2008-11-08 |publisher=Rosoboronexport}}</ref>, alternatively a thermobaric warhead can be carried to engage soft-skinned targets, fortifications and manpower<ref name="NAROD"/>.<br />
<br />
The 9M123 missile together with its associated guidance system forms the 9K123 missile system. It is currently only launched from the 9P157-2 Khrizantema-S [[tank destroyer]], based on the [[BMP-3]] chassis. The 9P157-2 carries two 9M123 missiles on launch rails which are extended from a stowed position, the radar is also stowed during transit. Missile are re-loaded automatically by the tank destroyer from an internal magazine with 15 rounds (missiles are stored and transported in sealed canisters) and can also accept munitions manually loaded from outside the vehicle<ref name="KBM"/>. Three 9P157-2 tank destroyers are credited with being able to engage 14 attacking tanks and ensuring destruction of no less than 60% of the attacking force<ref name="KBM"/>. The dual guidance system ensures protection against [[electronic countermeasures]] and operation in all climatic conditions, day or night. [[NBC]] protection is provided for the crew (gunner and driver) of each 9P157-2 in addition to full armour protection equivalent to the standard BMP-3 chassis and entrenching equipment.<br />

The '''Ingwe''' is a modern [[South African]] multi-role [[laser guided]] [[anti-tank guided missile]] (ATGM) manufactured by [[Denel Dynamics]] (formerly Kentron).<br />
<br />
The missile was designed to be employed in various roles, either by [[infantry]]<br />
or as a vehicle or [[helicopter]] mounted system for targets at ranges from 250&thinsp;m to 5,000&thinsp;m. It employs a [[tandem warhead]] to defeat up to 1,000&thinsp;mm (40&thinsp;in) of armour.<br />
<br />
In 2005 the missile's on board software was upgraded to be able to detect the launch platform and download the latest software, all at launch time. This enables the use of a single missile across all launch platforms.[http://www.denel.co.za/NewsArchive.asp#DENEL%20MODERNISES%20INGWE%20ANTI-ARMOUR%20MISSILE]<br />

<br />
==Operational use==<br />
The weapon was first used on 10 September 1987 when a pre-production [[Ratel IFV|Ratel ZT3]] destroyed several [[T-55]] tanks at the Lomba River in [[Angola]]. <ref>{{cite book|title=Modern African Wars: South-West Africa|author=Helmoed-Romer Heitman, Paul Hannon|url=http://books.google.com/books?id=t9Aj997IO9gC|publisher=Osprey|date=1991|accessdate=2008-05-12}}</ref><br />

The '''Air Defense Anti-Tank System''' (ADATS) is a dual-purpose [[Short Range Air Defense|short range]] [[surface-to-air missile|surface-to-air]] and [[anti-tank guided missile|anti-tank]] missile system based on the [[M113 armored personnel carrier|M113]]A2 vehicle. It is manufactured by the [[Switzerland|Swiss]] company [[Oerlikon-Contraves]], a member of the [[Rheinmetall|Rheinmetall Defence Group]] of [[Germany]]. <br />
<br />
== History ==<br />
<br />
The ADATS came about as the result of an extensive competition during which it was selected by the [[United States Army|U.S. Army]] for the Forward Area Air-Defense (FAAD)<ref>[http://www.fas.org/man/dod-101/sys/land/chaparral.htm MIM-72 / M48 Chaparral Forward Area Air-Defense System [FAADS<nowiki>]</nowiki>], Federation of American Scientists Web site. Accessed 2 January 2007.</ref> program under the designation MIM-146 for the missile, but ultimately the FAAD contract was cancelled in the early 1990s after the end of the [[Cold War]]. It is currently in service with the [[Canadian Forces Land Force Command|Canadian Army]] as a mobile, M113 based system, and in [[Thailand]] as a fixed, ground shelter defense system. The ADATS missile is a [[laser guidance|laser-guided]] [[supersonic]] missile with a range of 10 kilometres, with an [[electro-optics|electro-optical]] sensor with TV and [[Forward looking infrared|Forward Looking Infrared]] (FLIR). The carrying vehicle has also a conventional two-dimensional radar with an effective range of over 25 kilometres.<br />
<br />
=== Modernisation program ===<br />
{{Main|Multi-Mission Effects Vehicle}}<br />
<br />
In September 2005, the [[Government of Canada|Canadian Government]] and the [[Canadian Forces]] announced a modernization program, transforming the ADATS and associated command, control and communications systems into a '''Multi-Mission Effects Vehicle''' (MMEV). The MMEV was to retain and enhance ADATS capability (85% or better engagement success rate) to meet new threats, and would be mounted on a [[LAV III]] wheeled armoured vehicle. It was to be fitted with a [[3D radar]], [[Indirect fire|non-line-of-sight]] (NLOS) missile (using [[unmanned aerial vehicle]]s (UAVs) to gather required intelligence and target location at a range of 8&nbsp;km or more) and low-cost precision kill (LCPK) missile (fireable on direct shot at an 8&nbsp;km+ range), based on a 2.75-inch rocket and advanced Battle Management Command and Control Communication Computer and Information (BMC41), including [[TADIL-A|Link 11]]/[[Link 16|16]], to provide the third dimension to the [[ISTAR]] (Intelligence, Surveillance, Target Acquisition, and Reconnaissance) infrastructure of the Army. The flexible ground-based multi-mission system would have provided military commanders with a homeland defence and [[Canadian Expeditionary Force Command|expeditionary]] [[Canadian Forces Air Command|air]], land, and [[Canadian Forces Maritime Command|maritime forces]] capability for ground-based [[air defence]]/[[airspace]] coordination and long-range direct fire/NLOS support for ground engagement to defend against asymmetric and conventional threats.<br />
<br />
However, Canadian Forces Land Staff recommended in July 2006 for the Multi-Mission Effects Vehicle Project to be canceled, along with the [[Mobile Gun System]]. The latter recommendation was followed upon by the new [[Minister of National Defence (Canada)|Minister of National Defence]] at the time [[Gordon O'Connor]].<ref name="houseofcommons">{{citation|url= http://www2.parl.gc.ca/HousePublications/Publication.aspx?DocId=2735080&Language=E&Mode=1&Parl=39&Ses=1|title=39th PARLIAMENT, 1st SESSION - Standing Committee on National Defence|date=2007-02-22|accessdate=2009-07-21|publisher=Canadian Parliament}}</ref><br />
<br />
==== Weapon systems ====<br />
<br />
The [[Multi-Mission Effects Vehicle]] (MMEV) will feature a wide array of weapons for different engagements. Its direct fire with low cost rockets will be able to take down direct targets at an 8+ km range with an astonishing damage effect as it will fire multiple rockets on targets. The promotional videos of the MMEV show it firing eight [[rocket]]s at a single target without missing once. Note that the dub target was not moving, but the attack left only small debris of the armor leaving no chance for any enemy vehicle encountered.<br />
<br />
Its second ground-fire function features a guided [[missile]], again with an 8+ km range that is guided onto the target. This can be used to engage long-range targets such as light artillery but doing heavy damage. The non-line-of-sight capability allows the ADATS crew to use UAVs to spot targets under cover and fire its laser-guided missile over any obstacle.<br />
<br />
The MMEV also features the regular ADATS air defence system which can fire at a 10&nbsp;km range to engage [[helicopter]]s and [[fixed-wing aircraft]]. <br />
<br />
It is believed that two [[FN MAG|C6 machine guns]] will be mounted on the MMEV, for self-defence.<br />
