Tungsten Alloy Swaging Rod for MAPATS

Tungsten alloy swaging rod consists of W-Ni-Fe, W-Ni-Cu or W-Ni-Cu-Fe. Tungsten alloy swaging rod is made of tungsten alloy rod. After being swaged, the ultimate stensile strength can reach 1200 MPa or even 1400MPa. Tungsten alloy swaging rod is widely used in military industries. The warhead of MAPATS adopted tungsten alloy swaging rod.

MAPATS is a laser-beam riding anti-tank guided missile developed by Israel Military Industries as a possible successor to US wire-guided BGM-71 TOW.

MAPATS is capable of day and night operation, while the gunner has to direct his laser designator on the target until the missile impacts. First revealed in 1984, it has no trailing wire; so it can be fired over water at naval targets or from sea to land, unlike wire-guided ATGMs. The launcher has an elevation capacity up to +30°, so MAPATS can be used in the anti-helicopter role. Externally, MAPATS is very similar in appearance to the TOW 2.

With tungsten alloy swaging rod, LAHAT can penetrate armor easily to destroy armor vehicles or tanks.
