Module A0 ICCC Fort Benning

9. DESCRIPTION
The Javelin is a manportable, fire-and-forget, antitank missile employed by dismounted infantry to defeat current and future threat armored combat vehicles.
A soft launch ejects the missile from the launch tube to give a low- recoil shoulder launch. The soft launch enables firing from inside buildings or covered positions.
The weapon has two attack modes, direct or top attack. Direct attack mode to engage covered targets, bunkers, buildings and helicopters. Top attack mode is selected against tanks.
Launched at an 18° elevation angle to reach a peak altitude of 150m in top attack mode and 50m in direct fire mode.
Javelin has been selected by UK, Taiwan, Lithuania, Jordan, Australia, New Zealand, Norway, Ireland, Canada, and the Czech Republic.
Javelin is intended to replace the Dragon system in the Army
