The {{nihongo|middle-range multi-purpose missile|中距離多目的誘導弾}} or {{nihongo|Chū-MPM|中MPM}} is an anti-tank/landing craft missile used by the JGSDF.
Description
The Chū-MPM is smaller and much less expensive than the Type 96 MPMS. As such, it is deployed in greater numbers. The system controls are contained entirely within each vehicle for taking independent action.
The missiles are guided by semi-active laser homing or infrared imaging.
