The AIG-822 "Longbow" is a man-portable air defense and anti-tank system (MANPAD/ATS) fielded by the Callentine military in 822. Using the GASM (Ground, Air and Surface Munition) weapons system, it can perform a series of roles. It is a fire-and-forget system when fired line-of-sight, but can also use a spotter with a laser designator when firing beyond visual range. The Longbow can be fitted on ships, tanks and IFVs, and can be carried as a reusable rocket launcher.

Great job here and design.
The proper military term for the line of sight and non line of sight part is Direct Fire (nothing in way between weapon and target) and Indirect Fire (objects in way between weapon and target).
Also for the GASM-822, the projectile is obviously a BD (Base Detonating) fuze, but is it a HEAT or HESH (High Explosive Squash Head) payload?

The main difference is that HEAT (high explosive anti-tank) use a shaped charge designed to penetrate the armor, while HESH uses what is essentially rocket-propelled C4 to create a demo charge on the tank's armor. On detonation, it sends concussive shocks into the armor itself and more or less rattles the target to bits (as well as the softer stuff inside). Its a bit more limited against modern day tank tech likely, simply because of how the round works, although its still favored for combat demolitions.
