Technical Support for the Tank Breaker Program

Abstract

A series of tasks was performed for the Tank Breaker Program Manager (PM). This document addresses those efforts. The Tank Breaker antitank missile concept was developed in FY 79. This fire-and-forget, manportable missile system is based on a staring focal plane array seeker and employs advanced guidance and control concepts that result in impacts against the top armor of tanks. This missile is also effective against other battlefield targets, such as bunkers, and offers high operational flexibility.
