Javelin is a man-portable, anti-tank, guided munition and surveillance weapon system for the US Army.

The easy-to-use shoulder-fired weapon has been designed to offer improved situational awareness and demonstrated effectiveness against a wide array of targets such as armoured vehicles, bunkers and caves, according to Raytheon.

It can be deployed from multiple platforms such as tripods, trucks, light armoured vehicles, and remotely piloted vehicles in all weather, day or night operations.

Javelin’s long-wave infrared seeker enables it to engage in obscurants and reduced visibility and resists or minimises effects of countermeasures, Lockheed stated.

The multi-purpose combat system features an arched top-attack profile, which allows it to climb above its target for improved visibility and then hit where the armour is weakest, according to the statement.
