JAVELIN (AAWS-M)

Abstract

FY14 RDTE funding will support system qualification and live fire testing of the multi-purpose warhead (MPWH). The MPWH will be integrated into the Javelin Block I missile resulting in an improved capability against a broader range of threats being encountered in current military operations while maintaining lethality against traditional armored threats. FY14 RDTE funding will also support the Command Launch Unit (CLU) Far Target Locator (FTL) demonstrations and user evaluation. These improvements to the missile and CLU are a direct result of lessons learned from firing 2,074 Javelin missiles (Army and USMC) in Iraq and Afghanistan through 30 November 2012.
