Milan ATGW, Op Mona, Salisbury Plain, Wiltshire 1997
Foreign observes clustering around the Milan anti-tank guided wire missile system.
The Milan ATGW system is a French-German venture. It is a wire guided SACLOS system (semi-automatic command to line of sight). It replaced the Wombat 120mm a/tk gun in British infantry Anti-Tank Platoons in the late 1970s but has itself been replaced in 2004 by the American Javelin system.
Op Mona is the designation of an invitation to Vienna Document signatories to attend an observation of military activity, usually of an unusually large scale. Since the UK rarely stages such activities, invitations are sent out to observe activities which fall below the threshold, within the framework of "confidence and security building measures". Such operations are a large scale task for the Joint Arms Control Implementation Group (JACIG), the UK organisation for implementing UK arms control policies.
