Mete has 1m CEP.Unfortunately the long shape and weight of the Missile is vulnerable from side winds . Keeping the missile on the moving targets hard. Moreover Mete has minimum range 360 meter.

So using several 40mm grenade ammunition is more effective while you can not control and set timefuse after launch.

But LOBL with an IR seeker can change things I think. I just think that we should elongate the missile for longer rocket motor and develop a 40 mm diameter IR seeker (not imaging). Another possibility is developing a semi active radar guided version for C-UAS.

I gotch u,you mean mini Stinger but ATOM 40mm hunts cheap quadrocopters which are massively in the battlefield. Although ATOM40 is really very smart and unique solution , system is not compact.

There is just one rival of ATOM40 :
XM25 CDTE

Wasn't the XM-25 decommissioned due to it being a war crime to use?

That's a myth (a stupid one at that), it is not a "war crime" to use a grenade launcher, 40 mm grenades can also burst in air. It was cancelled because it was heavy and unreliable, nothing more.

XM 25 hits directly because has more velocity. 40mm very slow .

There is no 40mm smart rifle.
XM 25 is unique.

And useless. It was too heavy and required a soldier to forgo their basic rifle and only had like 40 bullets which is nothing if you have to fight in close range. There is a reason it was cancelled after millions of dollars were wasted.

Edit: Also, I just checked and ATOM has higher muzzle velocity than XM25.
