The Atlatl MTM is an active-guided beyond-visual-range fission warhead missile which can deliver a variety of payloads, typically a nuclear warhead, to targets up to 150 km distant in atmosphere and exponentially further in space. It is designed for use against fighter craft, shuttles, smaller vessels, ground targets and for precision strikes. At a metre long, it can be mounted by light craft or carried in vertical launch system racks aboard larger vessels.
