It is the primary tank destroyer of the SBCT, capable of defeating many armored threats up to 4 km away using the TOW missile system.

The ATGM vehicle provides standoff for the SBCT by use of its SACLOS guided missiles, which are effective at ranges equal to or exceeding those of most cannons, autocannons, or small arms.

The M1134 ATGM vehicle is based on the infantry carrier platform due to the close parallels of operational requirements and battlefield capabilities between the two systems.

The M1134 is an organic vehicle to the ICV maneuver formation and helps maximize commonality of the platform while simultaneously reducing the maintenance footprint and variety of logistics support.

This dedicated ATGM vehicle allows the remainder of the brigade's MAV fleet to be optimized for specific capabilities that can function under the anti-tank overwatch umbrella.
