The SS.11 is a French manual command to line of sight, wire-guided anti-tank missile manufactured by Nord Aviation, also available in an air-to-ground version, the AS.11, which added a stabilized sighting system and was known as the AGM-22 in American service. It is among the earliest guided anti-tank missiles, entering service with the French Army in 1956 and remaining in service into the 1980s, and it formed the basis for the larger, longer ranged SS.12/AS.12 series.
