One correction it won't have Air data probes.

are we developing nlos atgm ??

Ya'll Nibbiars yeah PK knew about this.

3D soft model of AMCA

How do you increase range of mpatgm while simultaneously decreasing weight like that of spike lr2. And for 2.5km range, 15 kg missile is far from ideal, range should be 4km atleast, even javelin has been updated to 4-5km range.

Change in design philosophy . Change of seeker to lighter one , so bigger motor is placed in it

Does that mean current mpatgm design is of old spike and javelin Era, that is pre 2000. I hope they are planning to increase range and provide fire on coordinate and update target capability.

nope, it seeker is better (as it is imaging infrared). This seeker does not have effect of countermeasures.

Not exactly , it uses some advanced features ,non existent in older atgm .

But overall it's not a disruptive design .

better seeker- imaging infrared, and fire and forget capability. Improvement over Kornets, Javelin has fnf but no only infrared seeker

I want those atgms to hit paki posts, and make pork dish out of them

Anti thermal smoke launchers on mbt will provide concealment on both thermal and normal seeing spectrum, so I think there is some countermeasures for it, albeit depending on type of smoke coverage. Also current warhead is tandeam heat and not muti purpose tandem warhead like spike lr2 and javelin f variant making it unsuitable to attack stationary hardened targets.
Good first try atgm, but continuing to build upon it is important.
Also, for 2.5km range, weight is an issue compared to type 01 lmat and raybolt of South korea- both having same range of 2.5km and shoulder launched, weight is considerably less than mpatgm, whole system less than 20kg.

MPATGM system weight is 14.5 kgs

Man-Portable Anti Tank Guided Missile | Defence Research and Development Organisation - DRDO, Ministry of Defence, Government of India

This missile is for infantry and Parachute (Special Forces) of the Indian Army. It is 'Soft' launched from a canister using an Ejection Motor. It uses a state-of-the-art IIR seeker for homing on to the target. The man portable missile, and launched using a tripod is designed for a max. range...

Ye lo bhaiya maje Karo, missile weight 14.5 kg without LAUNCH TUBE and another 14.25 kg for other shits, total system weight with tripod easily 30kgs. Aap kha rhete h, this info is quite known. It's a pretty bulky system, just see the total weight of type 01lmat system, you will be surprised.

Here I present to you, the epitome of fnf 3rd gen atgm, try to beat this in compactness, weight and shoulder fire ability, produced since 2001:-
