The MMB-74 Modular Heavy Antitank Missile System (MHAMS) is a Meridonian guided anti-tank missile system developed by the Ausaine Coporation. Capable of engaging with both fire-and-forget and command guidance, it is additionally capable of non-line of sight (NLOS) or lock-on after launch (LOAL) modes of engagement. Replacing older man-portable antitank systems such as the ATNG and wire-guided system such as TOW in vehicle mounts, it is designed as a modular system with variants designed for employment by ground troops, aircraft, and vehicles.
