This capability allows the operator to attack enemy vehicles while negating any possibility of the target being alerted by their infrared warning receivers (if they have one). The Titan's missiles can also be guided manually via SACLOS without having to acquire a lock-on. ![]() This provides it a significant range advantage and allows the operator to reliably engage enemy vehicles under all weather and lighting conditions - provided that the target has a 'hot' thermal signature. Unlike the PCML, the Titan's CLU does not utilise a Visual sensor and has its missiles track their targets via infrared. Likewise, the AP missile deals devastating area-of-effect damage and can easily wipe out an entire enemy squad should the missile impact the right location (although not quite comparable to the RPG-42's/ MAAWS Mk4's HE munitions). On the other hand, lighter vehicles like Armoured Personnel Carriers will almost always be destroyed in one hit. The AT missile can easily immobilise, if not critically damage, armoured vehicles such as Main Battle Tanks with one or two strikes. True to its name, the Titan's ability to load and fire AT/AP missiles is what makes it a unique multi-role weapon. The Titan MPRL Compact is a powerful anti-tank weapon. AP missiles on the other hand, lack this capability due to relying exclusively on SACLOS for guidance. Top-attack mode only functions with the Titan's AT missiles as they have the ability to autonomously guide themselves. The Titan can toggle between using two flight trajectory modes: a standard direct fire, and an alternate top-attack profile. The CLU also has a small rail that supports being fitted with laser pointers or flashlights. ![]() The launcher's command launch unit (CLU) is able to toggle between two thermal modes ("normal" day vision, white-hot thermal, and black-hot thermal), and can have its magnification toggled between 1x or 2x strength. It can be loaded with either 127 mm high-explosive anti-tank (HEAT) or antipersonnel (AP) warheads that are capable of striking targets at distances of up to 2,000 metres away. ![]() The Titan MPRL Compact is a portable long-range, fire-and-forget, guided missile launcher. 12.2 Weapons of comparable role and configuration.
