The TAL-35 is a Trinovantan air-deployable Anti-tank missile carrier developed by Global Defense Land Systems to augment the anti-armor capabilities of Trinovantan rapid deployment forces. It uses the same chassis as the TAG-35 airborne tank and carries the unconventional GMS-52 kinetic Anti-Tank Guided Missile as its primary weapon.
Development
The development of third generation main battle tanks the during the 1980s was expected to degrade the effectiveness of currently in-service anti-tank missiles to an unacceptable degree. At this time the best and primary means of neutralizing hostile armored threats available to the Trinovantan rapid deployment forces was the ATAL-24 ATGM carrier. The current Trinovantan TAG-33 had already demonstrated an exceptional resistance to current anti-tank missile systems, including the ATAL-24. Modern foreign designs such as the Notreceauen AVS 54 and the Dnieguin Tarskvagn-124 were believed to be similarly resistant to anti-tank missile threats. The expected proliferation of these vehicles, or other MBTs with similar capabilities, would thereby pose a significant risk to Trinovantan rapid deployment forces.
To address these concerns, a competition for a new anti-tank weapons system was initiated in 1987 to replace the ATAL-24. Requirements were simple; the weapon had to be able to defeat the armor of any current armored vehicle, it had to be capable of being paired to a airdrop capable vehicle, and it had to have a per-unit production cost that did not exceed 5 times the current cost of the GMS-23 missile used on the ATAL-24. Several designs were submitted, using various methods to achieve the criteria set out by the competition such as large tandem HEAT warheads or top-attack flight profiles. However, the Global Defense Aerospace proposal utilized a novel approach, a hardened steel penetrator mated to a high-output rocket. This weapon system, mounted on a new turret designed for Global Defense's in-development TAG-35 airborne tank, would go on to win the program.
Armament
The primary armament for the TAL-35 is Global Defense Aerospace's GMS-52 missile.
