The GP105 (GP2) 105mm tank gun-launched missile, a laser beam-riding missile, can be fired from any tank and armoured vehicle turrets carrying 105mm tank guns. The missile remains fully compatible with other conventional 105mm rounds.
The gunner places the aiming point on the target and keeps it there before and after the missile is fired. The laser receivers on the missile tail receive encoded trajectory correction signals, which are processed to alter the position of the control fins and thus guide the missile towards its target.
The missile has a tandem warhead capable of defeating explosive reactive armour.
