Anti Tank Guided Missiles (ATGM) for infantry
armored vehicles
General Dynamics Land Systems and FSDS have joined together to produce a
remote Anti Tank Guided Missile (ATGM) system for
tracked and wheeled infantry fighting vehicles.
Evolved from the FSDS and Delco Defence
Systems Elevated TOW system (ETS), the ATGM weapon
system gives TOW missile capability to today's
infantry fighting vehicles.
- TOW-missile system.
- Missile loading under armor.
- Allows for C130 transportability (platform
dependent).
- Manual backup drives.
- KMW 76 mm grenade launchers.
The ATGM weapon system has a 2-tube launcher and
elevated mast extending 0.5 meters above the
chassis. The crew of three is under armor at all
times. The system provides maximum crew protection
when operated stealthily using terrain and other
structures to provide masking and protection.
The ATGM weapon system, through the employment of
current sighting technologies, enables the use of
the family of all TOW missile types. With ATGM,
customers are assured of the equipment and missile
commonality with current US and Allied inventories.
The ATGM weapon system is employed in the US Army
Brigade Combat Team (IBCT) ATGM vehicle.
