The AT-1K Raybolt, known in Korean as Hyeon-gung, is a man-portable anti-tank guided missile developed in South Korea as the first weapon of its kind built there. Its imaging infrared seeker gives it fire-and-forget capability, its tandem warhead is meant to defeat explosive reactive armor, and it can attack a target from above or head on. Development began in 2007 to replace ageing recoilless rifles and TOW missiles, with the Agency for Defense Development and LIG Nex1 as the main developers. The system weighs about 20 kilograms, may be carried by a two-man team or mounted on light tactical vehicles, and entered mass production in June 2017. It was delivered to the Republic of Korea Armed Forces that year and saw combat use in the Yemeni Civil War in 2018.
