During the past 10 years, the Army's antiarmor weapon developments have sought to improve the toal mix of weapons by providing antiarmor systems for use against targets at close, intermediate, and long ranges with emphasis on a high probability of a first round hit. Data for this essay was gathered using literature search and personal interview. Tank engagement ranges in past wars frequently varied from a few yards to well beyond 3000 meters. Based upon this data and recent studies, the Army determined a need for a mix of light, medium and heavy antitank weapon systems to permit engagement of enemy armored forces at the various ranges and to provide for a more effective all-around antiarmor capability for infantry and mechanized units.
