JAVELIN
Abstract
Javelin is a man-portable, fire-and-forget, medium-range missile with enhanced situational awareness and precision direct-fire effects to defeat armored vehicles, fortifications, and soft targets in a range of military operations. Javelin uses a modular design to allow the system to evolve to meet changing threats and requirements via both software and hardware upgrades. The system consists of a reusable Command Launch Unit (CLU) with a built-in-test (BIT), and a modular missile encased in a disposable launch tube assembly. The system also includes training devices for tactical training and classroom training FY 2019 Base dollars in the amount of $10.623 million will continue development engineering of the Javelin Lightweight Command Launch Unit (CLU). Objective of the Javelin Lightweight CLU is a 50% reduction in weight and a 35% reduction in size compared to the Block I CLU, while meeting detect, recognize, and identify requirements. Javelin Lightweight CLU is a result of user feedback on weight and bulk, and addresses the Close Combat Missile System - Medium Capability Production Document objective system weight requirement.
