The TAipers (Tank Snipers) anti-tank guided missile, also known as the Cheongeom, is a South Korean long range anti-tank guided missile built by Hanwha Defense. The missile has two modes. The fire-and-forget mode autonomously guides the missile using a dual-mode seeker that combines visible and infrared homing imagery. Its AI algorithm was trained with deep learning on more than 800 000 frames of potential targets. The fire-and-update mode allows the operator to guide the missile from the launch vehicle though fiber-optic datalink. [2] It is planned to enter mass production in December 2024.
