Air Defense Anti-Tank System (ADATS)

[Voltzz]

Hi yall, I got some questions. First off, the MIM-146 is 6in or 152.4mm, which begs the question, can the ADATS fire TOW missiles? and transversley can a TOW launcher fire MIM-146? also there's the HATM, which is also 152.4mm, designed to be compatible with a modified TOW system. It seems like it'd go great with ADATS for killing helis... if it's compatible, of course.

As other have already pointed out, TOW uses a different launcher and different guidance from ADATS, but similarly to HATM being designed to use TOW launchers, there was also a Canadian project called HEMi (High Energy Missile) for a kinetic anti tank missile using a segmented rod penetrator, based on ADATS technology and meant for the Multi Mission Effect Vehicle.

High Energy Missile (HeMi)
The MMEV missile was based on the
current ADATS missile, but with improvements
projected to occur in the next 10 or so years. It
is expected that such a missile will be
approximately one meter in length, weigh 20 kg
and reach a speed of mach 7 within 400 m of
launch. Given the speed of the missile, it is
expected that it will be a laser beam rider.

FUTURE ARMY EXPERIMENT Operations in the Expanded Battlespace

ABSTRACT
In the search for increasing the lethality and
survivability of light armoured vehicles, a small
hypervelocity missile concept has been investigated.
This research and development project called High
Energy Missile (HEMi) technology demonstrator
aimed at studying and demonstrating the key
technologies to achieve the appropriate lethality to
defeat modern main battle tanks at long range in a
lightweight missile. The HEMi concept is described
and a review of the supporting technologies is made
with emphasis on the technical challenges
