Copperheads are laser designated. The newest IR stuff doesn't need a painted target, it homes on natural heat. GPS for arty rounds is quite easy and we should do it, clearly. The thing about autonomous terminal IR is you don't need to know exactly where the tank is and you don't even need an eyeballing FO. He can just know it is over that ridge hiding in dead ground, and call the mission. And the rounds will find the tanks.

That's something that came out after my stint in uniform then.
