The system utilizes the Swingfire anti-tank missile, the Striker can attack enemy tanks at a distance of 4,000 meters (2.5 miles). The missile is controlled by either a direct optic or thermal sight. The Striker can also work in conjunction with a separate optical sight up to 100 meters away allowing the system to remain in safe cover while engaging.
