Required Operational Capability (ROC) Number INS 211.3.1 for the Medium Assault/Antitank Weapon (MAAW) M47 Dragon.

Abstract

A product improvement program (PIP) of the current M47 Dragon system is required to provide a viable Medium Assault/Anti Tank Weapon (MAAW) capability until the projected fielding of a follow-on system in the mid-1990's. Improvement of the present system is needed in the following areas: (1) Warhead for increased penetration; (2) Tracker for increased countermeasure protection, day/night capability, increased hit probability, and reduced training requirements; and (3) Missile improvements including, but not limited, acquisition at longer ranges and decreased time of flight to maximum range.
