ANTI-TANK GUIDED MISSLE SYSTEM
ANTI-TANK MISSILE POWER FOR INFANTRY ARMORED VEHICLES

GDLS and E. Falck Schmidt have joined together to produce a remote Anti-Tank Guided Missile (ATGM) system for tracked and wheeled infantry fighting vehicles. Evolved from the GDLS Elevated TOW system (ETS), the ATGM weapon system gives TOW missile capability to today's infantry fighting vehicles.

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 ATGM 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.
