ANTI-TANK
MILAN
MILAN ER
(extended response) is a new generation man-portable anti-tank weapon system
manufactured by MBDA for the French and Indian armies. It is an extended range
variant of the combat-proven MILAN anti-tank missile system which is in service
in more than 40 countries. The Milan ER can be deployed to provide tactical
fire support for land combat forces in close combat operations in urban and
open terrains.
The MILAN ER guided missile is produced by MBDA France. Each missile weighs 13kg including tube, and can engage and destroy targets within the range of 3km. The MILAN ER weapon system is equipped with semi-automatic command to line of sight (SACLOS) guidance system. The wire-guided SACLOS offers anti-jamming efficiency in clutter environments.

ERYX
ERYX is a
short-range portable SACLOS-based wire-guided anti-tank missile (ATGM) produced
by European company MBDA. It is used by several countries, including the
Canadian Army, French, and Norwegian armies. The weapon can also be used
against bunkers and pillboxes. It also has some capability in the anti aircraft
role to bring down low flying helicopters, due to its wire guided system.
In 2007 MBDA provided funding for the development of an enhanced Eryx system. The new system features a new, non-cooled thermal sight which uses a bolometric sensor. MBDA asserts that the new sight is quieter, reduces weight, increases battery life, and provides a detection range greater than the missile's own maximum range.

MMP
under development
Missile Moyenne
Portée (medium range anti-tank missile system), or MMP, is designed to be
France’s next portable anti-armor missile for troops and vehicles. The first
systems are expected to be delivered in 2017.
MMP is a light weight, portable missile with a 4 km range.The system is fully digitized, and has a 2-stage main propulsion system.
The MMP has three operating modes: fire and forget; man in the loop; and lock-on after launch. It has a dual-mode seeker (IR/TV), is fully digitised, and features a multipurpose tandem warhead, two-stage main propulsion, real-time datalink, and non-line-of-sight (NLOS) firing capability. The system also can be fired from confined spaces.
