[2] It is also suitable for patrol ships, possibly modified for 105–106 mm recoilless rifles, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), high mobility multipurpose wheeled vehicles (HMMWVs), and self-propelled anti-aircraft weapons (or guns, SPAAGs).

[4] It has a semi-active laser guidance system, capable of both direct and indirect laser designation—the target can be laser-designated by the launching platform (e.g. firing tank) or other platform (e.g. another tank, helicopter, UAV, or forward scouting team), requiring minimal exposure in the firing position.

The time of flight to a target at 4,000 m (2.5 mi) is 14 seconds and the missile hits the target at an accuracy of 0.7 m (2.3 ft) circular error probable (CEP) and an angle of over 30 degrees, providing effective penetration of up to 800 mm (31 in) of rolled homogeneous armour (RHA) steel with its tandem-charge warhead to deal with add-on reactive armor.

[6] The United States military is considering using the LAHAT as a weapon to arm unmanned aerial vehicles.

One direct hit was scored using the helicopter's observation capability along with laser designation from ground forces.
