Khrizantema-S is designed for combating modern and future tanks, infantry fighting vehicles and other light armoured targets, engineering constructions, fast boats, low-altitude and low-speed aerial targets, manpower in shelters and in the open, day and night, in any weather, in dusty and smoky air.

The system includes the following assets:

• tracked combat vehicle 
• 9M123 ATGMs with tandem shaped-charge warhead
• 9M123F ATGMs with HEAT warhead
• testing and maintenance assets for the vehicle and missiles
• training facilities.

Two targets can be engaged simultaneously due to modern target detection and guidance systems (one via automatic radar and another via semi-automatic laser-beam channel). The agility of the platform is another advantage against heavy armoured vehicles.
