Inert TRIGAT MR Launcher with working illuminated reticule Zeiss scope and SAT thermal imager. Very rare. TRIGAT-LR (Third Generation AntiTank, Long Range) and AC 3G in French, is a fire-and-forget missile, which can be used against air or ground targets. It is intended for long range applications and designed to defeat tanks, helicopters and other individual targets, while minimizing the exposure of the launch vehicle to enemy fire. The weapon uses thrust vector control and low ejection velocity technology developed by Aerospatiale for its Eryx infantry anti-tank missile. Flight time is 12 seconds to the range of 2,000 m whilst minimum range is 200 m. Full effectiveness is achieved between 200 and 2,400 m. A tandem High Explosive Anti-Tank (HEAT) warhead system with an Infra-Red (IR) standoff fuze is fitted to enable the weapon to defeat all types of current and future armour technology. The missile itself is carried in a sealed canister which acts as the container-launcher tube, the total weight of which is 17 kg. The man-portable tripod firing post and sight assembly weighs another 17 kg. Guidance is by Optical Beam-Riding (OBR) of a coded IR laser beam generated in the 10 urn wavelength region. All the gunner has to do is to keep the cross- hairs of his sight on the target. The missile automatically locks onto the centre beam after launch and receives its flight commands via the laser receiver unit mounted at its rear. An optical day sight is supplemented by an optional clip-on thermal imaging night sight to give the system an all-weather day or night engagement capability in fog, haze or battlefield smoke conditions. Maximum rate of fire is 3 rds/min in the man-portable role. Significantly, MR has the capability of being fired from enclosed spaces. The weapon also has the capability of engaging low-flying or hovering helicopters.
