The PCP-15 is a shoulder-launched, unguided and portable anti-tank rocket weapon built by Riverstone Munitions. The weapon was designed with the primary function to provide soldiers with a weapon capable of destroying armored fighting vehicles and modern main battle tanks. The weapon also had a secondary function of destroying bunkers and other fortifications. It consists of a reusable launcher, a permanently attached optical sight and a rocket that is pre-packaged in a disposable launch canister. To fire the weapon, the canister (containing the projectile) is attached to the rear-end of the launch tube.
The launcher is a filament-wound, smooth bore cylinder with an inner wear-resistant lining. The launcher's tube also has front and rear hand-grips, a padded shoulder rest, an electronic firing mechanism and safety mechanisms. It also features an extendable bi-pod that is stored within its frontal hand grip. The launcher can fire over 200 rockets and the firing mechanism's batteries have a shelf life of 10 years.
The system's sight features 4× magnification, an 8-degree field of view and a lead-compensating reticle pattern. The reticle pattern determines accurate firing of up to 400 meters and can predict the correct lead angle for a moving target.
Projectiles
92 mm High-explosive anti-tank (HEAT) anti-armour warhead
A High-explosive anti-tank warhead capable of penetrating 680 mm of Rolled homogeneous armour(RHA). Warhead uses a stand-off probe, which is located on the ogive of the projectile, in order to penetrate the armour.
95 mm HEAT anti-armour warhead
An upgraded HEAT warhead capable of penetrating 710 mm of Rolled homogeneous armour(RHA). It is less expensive to produce than the 92 mm warhead.
94 mm High Explosive Multi-Purpose warhead (HEMP)
For use against bunkers, buildings, enemy personnel in the open and light armour. This Warhead contains a hardened steel penetrator, which is filled with explosives, and detonates after a slight delay. It can penetrate 300 mm of reinforced concrete, 1500 mm of wood-lined earth fortifications and 15-20 mm of steel armour.
95 mm High-explosive anti-tank Reactive Armour (HEAT/RA) warhead
A tandem hollow charge warhead capable of penetrating Explosive Reactive Armour (ERA). The warhead possesses a small shaped charge at the end of a stand-off spike. It can penetrate 630 mm of RHA after ERA.
