The Type 01 LMAT is a relatively compact battlefield weapon aided in transport and during marches by an included shoulder. The system can be operated by a single person - including airborne troopers in dire need of such firepower particularly against the threat of tanks. The missile is capable of defeating current-generation combat armor as well as more advanced Explosive Reactive Armor (ERA) block schemes used throughout the world.
Due to the post-World War 2 Japanese constitution, which restricted weapons exportation, the Type 01 LMAT has not been seen in the inventories of other global players. However, the recent relaxation of said restriction could set the stage for foreign sales at a near-future date.
