No. The 16-20" range is indirect fire; the CG AT rounds are supposed to
be used in direct-fire mode. IIRC the maximum direct-fire range for the
551 round is about 500 meters, but the hit probability is poor beyond 300
meters. With *in*direct fire against AFVs, it would be completely
non-existant :-/

It may be possible to fire the current frag round at long ranges.
They're time-fused, but I don't remember the maximum time between
launch and detonation off-hand. If it isn't already possible, it
shouldn't be very difficult to modify them to allow long enough delays
for long-range indirect fire. You'd get fairly bad deviations, though.

The standard DSII IAVR has a range of 4" or 400 meters, ie a bit better than
the AT4 manage today, and a bit better than the effective range of the current
CG AT rounds.

Best wishes,
