	ANTI-TANK MISSILES: JAVELIN
		The Javelin is a manportable, "fire-and-forget" anti-tank missile employed by dismounted infantry to defeat armored combat vehicles.
		The missile has a small thermal imaging TV camera in the nose and a computer that is sufficiently sophisticated that once locked onto a tank, it will follow it autonomously, even if it is moving.
		The missile is designed to attack the topside of a tank where the armor is thinner.

	Javelin Antitank Missile
		The Javelin is a manportable, fire-and-forget, antitank missile employed by dismounted infantry to defeat current and future threat armored combat vehicles.
		The Javelin consists of a missile in a disposable launch tube and a reusable Command Launch Unit (CLU) with a trigger mechanism and the integrated day/night sighting device for surveillance, and target acquisition and built-in test capabilities and associated electronics.
		The missile locks on to the target before launch using an infrared focal plane array and on-board processing, which also maintains target track and guides the missile to the target after launch.

	This is the reason why the US Army considers tanks to be obsolete. [Free Republic]
		Yes, tanks will be moving and shooting -- but if the next generation missile is self-guided, can be shot from over the ridgeline, and would allow the operator to remotely launch from several hundred yards from where he puts the launcher, it increases problems for the tank operator.
		The missile is equipped with an imaging infra-red seeker which is based on a cadmium mercury telluride (CdHgTe) 64 x 64 staring focal plane array in the 8 to 12 micron waveband.
		The missile is launched at an 18 degree elevation angle to reach a peak altitude of 150 m in top attack mode and 50 m in direct fire mode.

	US Troops Get Javelin Anti-Tank Missile
		Best of all, the seeker on the missile is "fire and forget." That is, once the operator gets the target in the CLU crosshairs and fires the missile, the computer and seeker in the missile warhead memorizes the target and homes in on it.
		Another Javelin feature is "soft launch", where the missile is popped out of the launch tube by a small explosive charge, small enough to allow the Javelin to be fired from inside a building.
		The fire and forget aspect is not foolproof, nor is the heat sensing elements of the CLU and the missile itself.

	Norway Selects Raytheon-Lockheed Martin Javelin Anti-Tank Weapon System
		The Javelin system, which was used extensively in Afghanistan and Iraq by the U.S. Army and Marine Corps and by Australian Special Forces, will give the Norwegian Army a one-man-portable, anti-tank weapon with a range of 65 to 2,500 meters.
		Javelin's light weight (49 pounds) and soft launch allow it to be fired by a single soldier within an enclosure.
		The contract contains provisions for the Javelin Joint Venture, in conjunction with SAAB, to provide a unique Norwegian field tactical trainer adapted to the Norwegian national training center, an interface device that enables the ERYX tripod to be employed with Javelin and new terrain for the basic-skills trainer that is distinctive to Norway's requirements.
