The '''Improved Advanced Tactical Missile''' system (iATM) was developed by [[Clan Coyote]] alongside [[The Society]] from [[3054]] to [[3070]]<ref name=IOp65-66/>. Like the [[Advanced Tactical Missile]] that it's based on, the iATM system uses a variety of ammunition types and includes an advanced targeting option. Unlike the ATM, the iATM uses a [[Streak SRM]] style guidance system to improve accuracy. Unlike the Streak system, however, the iATM can use indirect fire. The iATM can use the three ammunition types available to the standard [[ATM]], but it also has two additional ammunition types that are restricted to itself (that is, these two ammunition types cannot be used by the ATM).<ref name=TWoRp201-202/><ref name=IOp65-66/>
