The Eryx is a short-range anti-armor missile developed by Aerospatiale (now MBDA). It is designed for use as a lightweight, manportable infantry system. Eryx was chosen for use by the French army in 1985 and the first procurement funding showed up in the 1990 budget. In 1987, France and Canada agreed to jointly produce the Eryx. The French army's original requirement was 2,120 firing posts and 60,000 missiles, which was trimmed back to 700 firing posts and 12,000 missiles by the time procurement ended in 2000.
