The LIG Nex1 Raybolt ({{lang-ko|현궁}} "Hyungung") is a South Korean man-portable third-generation anti-tank guided missile built by LIG Nex1. It has fire-and-forget capability using an infrared imaging seeker and has a tandem-warhead to defeat explosive reactive armor. The Raybolt has a top attack and direct attack modes.[1] It is the first ATGM to be built by South Korea and entered mass production in June 2017. The Raybolt is positioned by its manufacturer as a competitor and peer with the American FGM-148 Javelin and Israeli Spike-MR ATGMs.[1] DevelopmentDevelopment began in 2007 and began in earnest in 2010, as South Korea's existing anti-tank guided missiles were reaching the end of their 25-year service life.[2] LIG Nex1's priorities during development were world-class performance, weight, export competitiveness through localization of core components, cost-efficiency, and reliability.[3] The development was not completely smooth, and for the first five years there were several failures with "Captive Flight Tests".[3] In a retrospective on the development of the Raybolt, one engineer assessed the greatest challenge as quality assurance.[3] The Raybolt was developed to replace obsolete anti-tank weapons, such as recoilless rifles and TOW missiles.[4] South Korea's 1970s-vintage TOW missiles lacked tandem-warheads and would not be able to destroy modern North Korean tanks equipped with explosive reactive armor (ERA).[4] The Raybolt is produced by LIG Nex1 in cooperation with South Korea's Agency for Defense Development, under the auspices of the Defense Acquisition Program Administration (DAPA).[5] About 95% of the Raybolt is made in South Korea.[6] The Raybolt underwent successful test evaluations in Saudi Arabia in December 2013 and January 2014.[3] The Raybolt contract is expected to be worth 1 trillion wan through till 2023.[6] FeaturesThe Raybolt's most notable feature is an imaging infrared seeker providing fire-and-forget capability. It also has a tandem-warhead and both direct attack and top attack modes.[5] The Raybolt uses a smokeless propellant and can be fired from within a building.[5] The Raybolt missile and Observation and Launch Unit (OLU) can either be vehicle-mounted or carried as a manpack by two men.[5] There are also discussions to mount the Raybolt on helicopters.[3] The OLU has day/night capability via a thermal sight.[5] The missile uses a soft launch to escape the barrel before activating the main flight motor.[2] It is scheduled to be acquired over the 2018-2022 timeframe.[4] The Raybolt system weight about {{cvt|20|kg}},[4] which its manufacturer describes as lighter than peers.[1] The Raybolt's range is 2.5[7] or 3 km.[6] The Raybolt's HEAT tandem warhead can penetrate 900 mm of RHA beyond defeating ERA,[8] which is described as "excellent performance" by DAPA.[4] The Raybolt has been marketed to India.[9] Park Tae-sik, senior manager at LIG Nex1, also reports interest from South America.[2] The missile can be carried by a two-man crew or fitted to fire from vehicles. The South Korean Army uses an anti-tank version of the Kia Motors 4×4 Light Tactical Vehicle (LTV) called the K-153C; the roof is equipped with a launcher turret with two missiles ready to fire and four additional missiles carried inside the vehicle.[7] Operational historyThe Raybolt was delivered to the Republic of Korea Armed Forces in 2017.[4] It will be used by the Korean Army and the ROK Marine Corps.[3] In 2018, the Raybolt was used in the Yemeni Civil War by Saudi-backed forces against the Houthis.[10] Operators
