Javelin Command Launch Unit (CLU) with External Far Target Locator (FTL)
Abstract
This effort focuses on the designs, fabrication, and demonstration of technology for a highly accurate, externally-mounted Javelin FTL that integrates with the CLU and provides a means to significantly lighten the load of the Javelin close-combat missile system. The system-technology construct comprises an externally mounted FTL connected to the Javelin Command Launcher Units. This construct will reduce the weight and volume of the FTL capability for close-combat weaponry carried by the individual Soldiers while increasing lethality, survivability, and situational awareness for Small Unit operations. This effort transitions, integrates, and demonstrates technology from PE 0602303A, Project 214, 'Smaller, Lighter, Cheaper Tactical Missile Technologies'.
