The Bombardier Anti-Tank submunition is one of a triad of Arthuristan 'Assault Breakers', together with the AMTI 155 artillery round and ACM-12 Scythe cargo glide bomb, weapons designed to enable outnumbered Arthuristan ground formations to fight and win against powerful mechanised armies by leveraging upon modern advances in precision-guided munitions technology. The Bombardier is primarily intended to be carried by the ACM-6 Vassago surface-to-surface missile, 13 per pack. It is a glide weapon with large, cruciform wings conferring excellent agility in attacking moving targets. Upon release from the carrying vehicle, each BAT round can search for targets autonomously using acoustic sensors mounted on the wingtips and an imaging infra-red seeker mounted on the nose, before diving down on an armoured vehicle using its auxiliary solid-fuel rocket motor and attacking its vulnerable roof armour using a tandem shaped charge warhead.
Aside from the ACM-6, the Bombardier has also been adapted to other carrying vehicles, from the ordinary MLRS rocket (two per pack) to the ACM-1 Cerberus cruise missile (12-16).
