Absolutely. Wire-guided systems like the TOW, MILAN, SPIGOT, etc. require the missile to be steered to the target by the operator. All he/she has to do is keep the tug in the crosshairs and the missile will do the rest. Laser-guided systems too. Fire and forget ATGMs simply require the operator to lock on to the target, moving or stationary. If a Javelin can track a tank, it can track a river tugboat.
