LOSAT (Line-of-Sight Anti-Tank) for Early Entry Forces

LOSAT (Line-of-Sight Anti-Tank) was a U.S. surface-to-surface missile system designed by Lockheed Martin to defeat tanks and other individual targets. Instead of using a High Explosive Anti-Tank warhead like other anti-tank missiles, the LOSAT employed a solid tungsten kinetic energy penetrator to punch through armor, much like the APFSDS (Armour Piercing Fin Stabilized Discarding Sabot) rounds used by U.S. tanks. The LOSAT weapon system was very light; it was designed to be mounted onto a Humvee while allowing the vehicle to remain air-portable.
