The system is designed to augment the combat power of company - level motorized units . Overview . The Metis - M system adds to the usual positive qualities of a man - portable anti - tank guided missile with significant improvements in range , accuracy and lethality . Owing to the small dimensions and light weight of its components , this manportable system can be carried by its crew in compact packs over any distance and over a wide variety of terrain types , including stream crossing . The three - man crew carries personal weapons and an ammunition load of five missiles . One crew member carries a pack with a missile - loaded launcher , which considerably reduces the time of fire preparation and allows the crew to engage targets whilst moving .
