 Anti-tank guided missile - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
An Anti-tank guided missile (ATGM) or weapon (ATGW) is a guided missile primarily designed to hit and destroy tanks and other armoured fighting vehicles.
ATGMs range in size from small shoulder-launched portable weapons, to very large vehicle- or aircraft-mounted missiles capable of defeating the heaviest tank armour.
Command guided missiles are guided manually (MCLOS) (first-generation) or semi-automatically (SACLOS) (second-generation).

 guided missile on Encyclopedia.com
Air-to-air missiles are fired by aircraft at enemy aircraft and are often guided by self-contained controls that detect and target the missile toward heat sources.
Cruise missiles, which are launched like a missile but use flipout wings and a turbofan engine to fly like an airplane to the target at altitudes of about 50 ft (15 m), are either air-to-surface or surface-to-surface missiles.
Missiles may be aerodynamic, i.e., controlled by aerodynamic surfaces and following a straight-line trajectory to the target, or ballistic, i.e., powered during flight and following a parabolic trajectory.

The SAGGER is a wire-guided antitank guided missile with a shaped-charge HEAT warhead.
Antiarmor missiles are used, above all, as helicopter weapons on Mi-2 and Mi-8 helicopters and thus are modifications of army missiles.
The missile has a very long flight time to the target (12.5 seconds to 1,500 meters; 25 seconds to 3,000 meters), and evasive action is effective against it, especially at long ranges.

 Encyclopedia article on Anti-tank guided missile [EncycloZine]
An Anti-tank guided missile (ATGM) is a missile the primary purpose of which is to hit and destroy tanks.
Anti-tank weapons like Bazookas and RPGs are not considered ATGMs since they don't have any guidance system.
ATGMs can be guided into the target by several methods, such as laser guiding, laser marking, TV camera, wire-guiding etc. The most advanced ATGMs have options for "fire-and-forget" and even "fire-and-fix".

A balanced attack using both missiles and guns must be employed using a lightweight armored fighting vehicle that can be ORGANIC to light infantry, not unlikely to be delivered heavy M1 Abrams main battle tanks (MBTs) and M2 Bradley infantry fighting vehicles (IFVs) ad hoc in "ones and twos" at the last minute before battle.
But if the U.S. Army is to fully exploit precision guided missiles on the future, non-linear, instant communications primarily urbanized battlefield it must make an equal investment into "the battle for firing position" with all parts of the Airland battle force not just Attack aviation.
