4. Constructing the Javelin SDZ
Construct the SDZ for a Javelin guided missile firing an HE warhead into steel.
Information about this weapon system and its SDZ can be found by referring to DA-PAM , Chapter 15, paragraph 3 and Figures 15-10, and

8. The trajectory limit angle = 21°
To establish the right and left trajectory limits, refer to Chapter 15-3 and find the angle for a missile with the fly out probabilities of 1 in 1,000,000.
Distance X
The trajectory limit angle =
21°
At the launch point, measure 21° from the left and right of the missile target line.

9. Draw tic marks.
From the launch point, draw straight lines through the tic marks out through Distance X.
This establishes the left and right Trajectory Limits and defines the Impact Area.
