The GAM-10X is a family of Chinese fire-and-forget infrared homing anti-tank missile exported by Poly Technologies. The missile series was revealed in 2016. The GAM-10X has several variants, including the GAM-100, the GAM-101, and GAM-102.^[1][2][3]

The GAM-100 is a small, short-range missile with a range of 200–2,500 m (660–8,200 ft), a weight of 13 kg (29 lb), and a length of 1,200 mm (47 in). The missile is designed for shoulder-fired infantry operation, and has a soft-launch mechanism, an infrared (IR) homing seeker, a muzzle velocity of 170 m/s (560 ft/s), a top-attack trajectory, and a penetration value of 800 mm (31 in).^[1][2] The whole system weighs less than 20 kg (44 lb) and is considered a lighter and cheaper alternative to the HJ-12 missile in the PLA inventory.^[3][4]

The GAM-102 is a larger version of the GAM-100 for mounting on vehicle platforms. The GAM-102 has an increased penetration value of 1,000 mm (39 in), a range of 4,000 m (13,000 ft), and can be launched via vehicles or a tube-based launch system supported by a tripod.^[1][2][3] The GAM-102LR is a variant of GAM-102 with enhanced range.^[5] In 2018, an anti-tank system with GAM-102 missiles, optical sensors, and Dongfeng Mengshi chassis was displayed at the Zhuhai Airshow 2018.^[6]
