Abstract

A light anti-armor weapon for manual firing via a shoulder held launch tube (36) consists of an outer casing (13) in which a non-explosive, armor-penetrating device, suitably a solid rod (16) of heavy, high density metal or metal composite, is mounted. The penetrating device is mounted in a forward portion of the casing while a launch propulsion device (24) is mounted at the rear end for launching the weapon from the launch tube at a first, subsonic launch speed. A second boost propulsion device (22) is mounted in the casing behind the penetrating device for accelerating the weapon to a second, faster speed sufficient for the penetrating device to penetrate a target, and is associated with an igniter (27) for actuating the boost propulsion device. A sensor (30) is provided within the missile for sensing when the weapon is a predetermined distance from the target and actuating the igniter (27) at this point.
