Other features: The Swingfire anti-tank guided weapon (ATGW) is powered by a solid-propellant rocket motor manufactured by Royal Ordnance and Imperial Metal Industries, featuring integrated boost and sustainer phases known as the Pointer engine. Its high-explosive anti-tank (HEAT) warhead is capable of penetrating up to 800 mm of rolled homogeneous armor (RHA), effectively defeating contemporary laminated and composite armor arrangements. For guidance, early variants utilized a manual command to line-of-sight (MCLOS) wire-guided system operated via a joystick, while later upgrades introduced a semi-automatic command to line-of-sight (SACLOS) capability under the SWIG (Swingfire With Improved Guidance) project.
