Javelin (AAWS-M)
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. The Javelin Weapon System consists of a re-usable Command Launch Unit (CLU) and a modular missile encased in a disposable launch tube assembly. The system also includes training devices for tactical training and classroom training. Javelin has a high kill rate against a variety of targets at extended ranges under day/night, battlefield obscurants, adverse weather and multiple counter-measure conditions. Javelin has proven adaptability for use on a variety of platforms and remote weapon stations. Research, Development, Test & Evaluation (RDT&E) funding provides for system improvements in accordance with the Javelin Capabilities Production Document objectives and user priorities for future development. FY 2024 dollars in the amount of $7.827 million will continue Javelin system improvements to address emerging threats, improve engagement timeline, and increase lethality.
