The invention relates to an anti-tank rocket system for effectively engaging tanks for greatly reduced intrinsic risk by target acquisition after rocket firing, in that target acquisition after firing is made possible by converting the target data obtained by the anti-tank helicopter sensors into an opening time and target acquisition angular zone for the anti-tank rocket system sensors and by means of a reference image for the anti-tank rocket system image memory, the threat to the anti-tank helicopter being reduced to a minimum at the same time during the engagement process. <IMAGE>
