The PARS 3 LR[3] in German service, also known as TRIGAT-LR (third generation anti-tank, long range) and AC 3G in French, is a fire-and-forget missile, which can be used against air or ground targets.
It is intended for long range applications and designed to defeat tanks, helicopters and other individual targets, while minimizing the exposure of the launch vehicle to enemy fire.
A lighter, medium-range and man-portable version called Trigat-MR (MR for medium range) was also planned; it was later cancelled.
The project evolved into the proposed Trigan system, which is based on the MILAN 3 firing posts and the Trigat-MR missile.
On 30 June 2006, Germany ordered 680 PARS 3 LR missiles for €380 million.
