About

The guided missile system, surface attack: M47 (Dragon), is a man-portable, shoulder-fired, medium antitank weapon referred to in this manual as Dragon. It is capable of defeating armored vehicles, fortified bunkers, concrete gun emplacements, and other hardened targets on the battlefield. It can be operated by the individual soldier or by a two-man team. When employed with the mechanized infantry, it can be mounted and fired from the APC or M3 or M122 machine gun tripod, using the M175 mount. The Dragon can be fired using either the day tracker or night tracker, provided the gunner can see the target through the tracker. The Dragon night tracker (AN/TAS-5) increases the gunner's ability to engage targets during limited visibility. Targets can be engaged during daylight and also during limited visibility such as smoke, fog, or darkness.
