The Malaysian Ministry of Defence (MINDEF) has requested bids for the supply of 18 medium-range anti-tank guided missile (ATGM) systems.

In the bid document, MINDEF said there is a requirement for the anti-tank platoon of the infantry battalion to be equipped with medium-range ATGMs, which can engage and destroy enemy armour at a distance between 2,000 and 4,000 m.

According to MINDEF, an ATGM system includes a launching tube/canister, a missile, an observation and launching unit (OLU), a tripod, and a missile container.

The launching tube must receive and react to the task command from the OLU to ignite the ejection motor and eject the missile, MINDEF said. “The missile should not exceed a length of 1,200 mm and a diameter of 130 mm.”
