JAVELIN (AAWS-M)
Abstract
FY12 RDTE funding continues development efforts for Javelin Increment II. Javelin Increment II is planned as a capability upgrade of the currently fielded Javelin through modernization of key system components. Javelin Increment II consists of modernization of the Javelin warhead and missile guidance section integrated with the existing Javelin system components, resulting in a system enabling lethality at extended ranges. The Extended Range Line of Sight Lethality Initial Capabilities Document was approved on 3 Nov 10 by the Joint Requirements Oversight Council (JROC). Javelin Increment II mitigates current capability gaps against fleeting targets of opportunity and target sets across the full spectrum of operations. Javelin Increment II modernization capability improvements are a direct result of lessons learned from firing 1,281 Javelin in Iraq and Afghanistan through CY10. Multi-purpose warhead cut-in and fielding will be accelerated, if earlier opportunity exists.
