Study Notes
Javelin System
- M98A2 Javelin: Man-portable, medium-range anti-tank weapon. Consists of a Command Launch Unit (CLU) and the missile round.
- Command Launch Unit (CLU): Reusable unit with day/night sights, gunner controls, display indicators, and built-in testing.
- M98A2 Javelin Round: Includes Launch Tube Assembly (LTA), Battery Cooling Unit (BCU), and guided missile to defeat current/future armor. Max range: 2500 meters.
Saber System
- M41A7 Saber: Easily moved, heavy anti-tank weapon with precision fire. Includes launch tube, Target Acquisition Subsystem (TAS), Traversing Unit (TU), tripod, Fire Control Subsystem (FCS), Lithium Power Source (LPS), and Position Attitude Determination Subsystem (PADS).
- Position Attitude Determination Subsystem (PADS): Requires minimum 4 satellites for own position, 5 for enemy position, providing grid coordinates (60-meter CEP at 6000 meters).
- Seeker Trigger: Initiates missile's lock-on mode after track adjustment.
- Round Interface Connector: Electrical connection for digital/seeker image data transfer.
- Night Vision System (NVS) NOT COOL Indicator: Lights on CLU display when NVS isn't at operating temperature.
- Attack Mode: Shows missile path to target. Top Attack is default; Direct Attack is manual.
- Target Acquisition Subsystem (TAS) FTL Capability: Provides grid coordinates with high accuracy.
- Aided Target Tracking: Improves missile track, increasing hit/kill percentages.
- TU Elevation Brake: Increases Saber's launch stability.
- Hot Position: Location with good fields of fire, accommodating backblast (one per weapon).
- Cold Position: Position offering maximum cover and defensibility.
- Fire Patterns: Standard techniques for distributing anti-armor fire across multiple targets.
Protected Systems
- Active Protection: Systems like jammers, radars, and fragmentation defenses.
- Passive Protection: Armor that doesn't react on impact (e.g., cages, nets, spaced plates).
- Reactive Protection: Explosive and non-explosive protection measures.
Target Engagement
- Target Precedence: Prioritizing enemy weapons based on threat level.
- Primary Position: Main firing position with a specific mission.
- Ambush Concept: Guides the positioning of anti-armor weapons.
- Categories of Anti-Armor Weapons: Light, medium, and heavy.
- HAW MAW LAW: A concept to utilize heavy, medium, and light anti-armor weapons for maximum target range.
- Mass Surprise Fires (MSF): Simultaneous engagement of enemy forces using all available anti-armor weapons.
Weapon Specific Data (Ranges, Angles, and Characteristics)
- Detailed tables with ranges, launch angles, capabilities, and considerations for various anti-armor weapons (Javelin, Saber, TOW series, MAAWS, LAV-25, LAAW, MG, RW, FW, Arty) are included.
Fire Support and Engagement Concepts
- Methods of Initial Engagement: Order-based or event-driven (such as reaction to enemy movement).
- Enemy Threat Categories: Most dangerous (actively engaging friendlies), dangerous (potentially engaging), and least dangerous enemies.
- Positioning Principles: Cover, concealment, dispersion, mutual support, standoff distance, and flanking opportunities.
- ATGM Advantages: High first-round hit probability, various platform compatibility, adaptability to flank and top-attack approaches.
- ATGM Disadvantages: Vulnerability to enemy fire, slow flight/fire rate, terrain and vegetation limitations.
- Understanding of different firing positions (frontal, cross fire, depth fire, kill-window).
- Significance of alternate and supplementary positions.
- Essential factors for anti-armor positioning.
