UMTAS
UMTAS or Mizrak-U "(Uzun Menzilli Tanksavar Sistemi)" is a modern long range air-to-surface anti-tank missile developed by Turkish armor and missile manufacturer ROKETSAN. Background. The UMTAS program was initiated in late 2003 by Turkey's Undersecretariat for Defence Industries (SSM), specifically to provide T-129 ATAK combat helicopters with an indigenous guided missile. The UMTAS has been designed to engage tanks and heavily armoured vehicles. It can be integrated to various platforms (Helicopters, UAVs, Land Vehicles, Stationary Platforms, Light Assault Aircraft, Naval Platforms). Description. The UMTAS missile features "fire and forget" and "fire and update" infrared  guidance with a tandem anti-armor warhead. The laser guided version is marketed as the L-UMTAS. It is capable of engaging targets at 8 kilometers. Capabilities: Development. Phase 1 (design) was launched in 2005 and completed in 2008. Phase 2 (development and qualification) was launched in 2008 and completed in 2015. The L-UMTAS and UMTAS version have been successfully integrated and fired from the Turkish T-129 ATAK helicopter against land targets and from SH-60 Sea Hawks against sea targets. The missile has also been successfully tested fired from the Bayraktar TB2 UCAV. The missile was dropped from an  altitude of 16,000 ft to hit a 2×2 meter laser-designated target self designated from the drone, at a distance of 8,000 meters. The MAM-L smart munition was developed from L-UMTAS. Serial production has begun with the delivery dates set in 2016.
