The LAHAT (Laser Homing Attack or Laser Homing Anti-Tank, also a Hebrew
word for incandescence) is a third generation semi-active laser homing
low-weight anti-tank guided missile developed since 1992 and
manufactured by Israel Aerospace Industries. It was designed primarily
to be fired by Merkava tanks' 105 mm and 120 mm tank guns, though it
matches all types of 105 mm and 120 mm guns, including low recoil guns,
low-weight guns of military armoured cars. Also suitable for patrol
ships, possibly modified for 105-106 mm recoilless rifles, UAVs, HMMWVs,
SPAAGs.[1] Unlike other tank rounds, LAHAT does not need a tank gun for operation.
