JAVELIN

Abstract

Compared to the Block I Command Launch Unit (CLU), the Lightweight CLU will double target identification range and increase system engagement range from 2.5 kilometers (km) to 4 km. Lightweight CLU reduces Soldier burden by providing a minimum of 25% reduction in weight and 30% reduction in size. 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. Fiscal Year (FY) 2021 Base dollars in the amount of $7.493 million will complete development of the Javelin Lightweight CLU and begin operational test. The Lightweight CLU schedule has been replanned and is on track to complete qualification in FY 2021 and operational test in FY 2022.
