Capsule: The METIS-M ATGM system is designed to defeat modern armored targets with improved protection, including those equipped with explosive reactive armor, as well as fortifications and weapon emplacements, and other pinpoint targets.
The system employs missiles with warheads of two types. The first is a tandem hollow-charge warhead designed to destroy modern and future tanks with reactive armor. The second is a fuel-air explosive warhead. It provides blast and incendiary effects comparable to those of large caliber artillery rounds and is capable of destroying light armored vehicles, fortifications and small-size targets. The METIS-M missile is roll-stabilized in flight and the tracking flare is mounted eccentrically so that it traces a circle as the missile rolls.
The IR tracking system derives deviation from the center of this circle and steering sense from the movement of the flare. The missile is ejected from its launch container by a booster motor stage, then the main rocket motor ignites. This allows the weapon to be fired from a confined space, though a clear area of at least 2 m behind the launch tube is necessary.
The system is designed to defeat armored targets, fortifications and weapon emplacements.
The system components: launcher, containerized missiles, thermal sight and test equipment for the launcher and thermal sight.
The missiles are fitted with warheads of two types: a tandem HEAT warhead and a thermobaric warhead possessing the high-explosive and incendiary effect of the 155mm artillery projectile.
The system allows delivery of fire in the prone position from organized and deployed sites, firing from the standing foxhole position as well from the shoulder, and carrying the ATGM system in packs, with pack No. 1 containing the launcher and missile in the firing attitude and pack No. 2 accommodating two Metis-M missiles.
Organizational and field maintenance of the ATGM system is carried out using test equipment.
To train operators, use is made of field and computer aided trainers.
