The LAV-AT anti-tank missile carrier is a mobile system is capable of defeating main battle tanks and fixed fortifications. It can be used both in defensive and offensive roles. It is one of the variants of the baseline LAV-25 armored vehicle. The LAV-AT was accepted to service with the US Marine Corps in the mid-1980s. Some sources report, that 95 of these vehicles were obtained. The LAV-AT was originally fitted with the Emerson 901 (Hammerhead) weapon stations, which fires TOW wire-guided, optically tracked anti-tank missiles. The same turret was used on the M901 anti-tank missile carrier. A twin missile launcher is mounted on a roof, above the third wheel. It carries two ready-to-launch missiles and provides coverage in 360 degrees. Also there are 14 reload missiles, stowed inside the hull. Missiles are reloaded manually under armor protection. The LAV-AT fires its missiles only when stationary. (courtesy of www.military-today.com/missiles/lav_at.htm ) I had to be different with this one and put it under some Camo net.
