The tables list systems that can reasonably be expected to be seen in service against US forces, or used in support of US forces in any form of combat contingency. Other systems, which may be obsolete, in very limited use, in disrepair, and/or in areas unlikely to see their use (US Cobra, French S-10/11) are not listed. Some systems are listed with only limited information due to their relative youth and security controls that may exist.

The nickname column shows the most common name (NATO codename if applicable) associated with the weapon. The system name will reflect either the official designation of the system or the NATO designator assigned to it.

Penetration is indicated in terms of inches of rolled homogenous armor (RHA). For tanks that employ steel armor in the vertical position, this is the thickness that will be penetrated by the system. Armor that is angled (sloped) will increase the amount of armor that must be penetrated (eg, 30mm of angled armor may be as effective as 50mm of vertical armor). Tanks employing special armor (laminates, ceramic cores, reactive) will have an RHA equivalent, but in many cases, this is a guarded secret or varies with the point and method of attack, as well as the angle of strike.

The guidance column list the form of guidance. "Laser" is short for laser-beam-riding.

The command column uses MCLOS (Manual Command Line-Of-Sight) or SACLOS (Semi-Automatic Command Line-Of-Sight). MCLOS requires the gunner to track the missile and target, bringing them both together at the point of impact manually. SACLOS uses computerization , allowing the gunner to track only the target, while the missile moves to the aimpoint without the gunner tracking it seperately. MCLOS is very difficult to use against a manuevering target.
