Parents anti_tank missile An Anti_Tank Guided Missile (ATGM) or Anti_Tank Guided Weapon (ATGW) is a guided missile primarily designed to hit and destroy heavily armored tanks and other armoured fighting vehicles. ATGMs range in size from shoulder_launched weapons which can be transported by a single soldier, to larger tripod mounted weapons which require a squad or team to transport and fire, to vehicle and aircraft mounted missile systems. The introduction of smaller, man_portable ATGMs with larger warheads to the modern battlefield has given infantry the ability to defeat even heavily armored main battle tanks at great ranges, usually with the first shot. Earlier infantry anti_tank weapons such as anti_tank rifles, anti_tank rockets and magnetic anti_tank mines had limited armor_penetration abilities and/or required a soldier to approach the target closely.
