The Javelin is a fire-and-forget missile with lock-on before launch and automatic self guidance, and is capable of engaging helicopters in a direct-attack mode.

The system takes a top-attack flight profile against armoured vehicles as well as a direct-attack mode for use against buildings or fortifications.

India has plans to acquire the missile system under the US foreign military sale (FMS) programme.
