Magnification using the thermal sight can be up to nine times normal vision and the tracker battery is good for four hours of operation.

M-152 TOW II Anti Tank Guided Missile
TOW, which stands for Tube-launched, Optically-tracked, Wire-guided missile is perhaps the single most common ATGW in the world today. The basic mount is man-portable and capable of being spilt into four units. These are the tripod, launcher, electronic signals generator and the tracking optical sensor. The missile in its container is loaded into the launcher, and electrical connections are made through the container as it is loaded. The wings and control surfaces are folded at this stage but open on ejection. In flight, two wires, through which command signals are transmitted, unreel from the missile. So long as the operator tracks the target in his sight, automatic corrections are made by a sensor to keep the missile on the correct course, the operator does not have to make any range or lead calculations. The Project issue version is the TOW IIC, which can be set for direct or overhead attack.

FIM-92 Stinger Anti Aircraft Missile
Entered Project service in 1979. It can engage approaching as well as receding targets and also oblique targets before they reach the crossing point. An IFF feature is incorporated in the aiming unit. The missile is resistant to jamming and is not affected by such heat distracters as flares. It has a top speed of Mach 2.2, thus enabling to engage many high-speed targets. A passive infrared homing seeker is used that makes the Stinger into a fire-and-forget weapon. A laser guidance system is also available where the operator tracks the target through a lightweight, stabilized sight that aligns the laser beam for target intercept by the missile.

Feed: Single round, prepackaged
Weight Tracker: 3kg
Weight Launcher: 5kg
