AMM's and similar missiles have very short engine burns, but can be used offensively at substantial range against targets that can't maneuver, such as ground targets, some space platforms, or a vessel that has been disabled. The AMM-D is a single-stage version of the missile that's designed specifically for this type of use. It's what they use instead of mass drivers.
