TRIGAT-LR (Longe Range), also known as PARS 3 in German and AC 3G in French service , is a fire-and-forget air-to-ground missile system for long range applications, designed to defeat tanks, helicopters and other individual targets while minimizing the exposure of the launch vehicle to enemy fire. It is the main weapon system of the european Tiger KHS and HAD helicopters. Trigat missiles can be fired in salvos of up to four in eight seconds. The missile can be applied in direct attack or terminal dive modes.
A ligher, medium ranged and man-portable version called Trigat-MR was also planned. This project evolved into the proposed Trigan system which is based on the MILAN 3 firing posts and the Trigat-MR missile.[1]
