	FGM-148 Javelin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Javelin is a fire-and-forget missile with lock-on before launch and automatic self-guidance.
		Javelin was used in the 2003 Invasion of Iraq.
		The missile is ejected from the launcher so that it reaches a safe distance from the operator before the main rocket motors ignite; a "soft launch arrangement." This also makes it harder to identify the launcher and allows it to be fired from within buildings.

	Javelin surface-to-air missile - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Javelin is a British man-portable surface-to-air missile, formerly used by the British Army and Canadian Army.
		The missile was developed as a replacement for the Blowpipe missile, which had proven largely ineffective in the Falklands war (9 hits recorded out of more than 100 missile launches) and in Mujahideen hands during the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan.
		Although Javelin is somewhat susceptible to smoke, fog or clouds, it is claimed to be virtually impossible to decoy it away from a target with flares.

	Army Technology - Javelin - Anti-Armour Missile
		The missile is equipped with an imaging infrared 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 mounted on the CLU and the gunner engages the target using the sight on the CLU, by placing a curser box over the image of the target.
		Once the missile is clear, the larger propellant in the second stage is ignited and the missile is propelled towards the target.

	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 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.

	NTT Systems Inc. - Javelin Video Interactive Missile Simulator
		The Javelin Video Interactive Missile Simulator, developed for the Robotics Group at DCIEM, was undertaken to demonstrate the suitability of VIG technology in the area of generic shoulder-mounted weapon simulators.
		To aid in the experimentation of different flight models, the missile was designed so that the duration of each stage and the thrust of the two burn stages are passed in at creation The display and visibility of the missile is driven by a flashing beacon which cycles on and off every half second.
		The missile is guidable only when inside the cone of influence and the beacon is on and visible from the Launcher.

		Failing to charge the missile to its minimum level will result in a missile that will fly erratically and explode prematurely, even in front of your face (though this can be used to your advantage in an intense close range brawl.) The missile also sticks to anything it hits until it explodes.
		Javelin Missiles are similar to the Crossbow Missiles, except that they deal heavier damage, fire slower, have a longer range, and generate heat quicker.
		Javelin Missiles are much better suited for long-range attacks than the Crossbows, as targets too close to you will actually be overshot by the Javelins.

	The Braden Files : Ode to the Javelin (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		I fired my missile from the roof of a four story building during a firefight with an insurgent RPG team that had made its way into a hardened position approximately 250 meters down a narrow street (behind our lead trace).
		The position from which I fired the Javelin was being used as a 60mm motor position by one of our rifle companies so back blast was of concern to them.
		There are many exceptional moments in my over 17 years of service as a Marine infantryman but one of the most distinct is definitely having had the honor to fire the Javelin missile against the enemy in battle in defense of my comrades and friends (and to annihilate the target).

		A balanced attack using both missiles and guns must be employed using a lightweight armored fighting vehicle that can be ORGANIC to light infantry, not unlikely to be delivered heavy M1 Abrams main battle tanks (MBTs) and M2 Bradley infantry fighting vehicles (IFVs) ad hoc in "ones and twos" at the last minute before battle.
		Once on the ground, the extra supplies of Javelin missiles could be towed by Paratroopers in "fat-tire" all-terrain cart/sleds (ATACS) like the UT 2000 system of two backpack frames that join together to be a Stokes litter or cart using a wheel set.
		Improved Javelin carries could improve mobility up to 4 mph depending on the soldier's conditioning and ingenuity at reducing his other loads to a bare minimum via items like the lightweight sleeping bag, NSN 8405-01-H77-9567 that fits into a buttpack instead of the issue 7.1 pound sleeping bag.

	Raytheon Company: Special Interest Stories: Warfighters praise Javelin
		During the Battle of Debecka Pass, the Javelin missiles were a key factor in holding off and eventually turning back an Iraqi brigade assault on the Special Forces position.
		Over the course of the battle, 19 Javelins were fired, destroying two T-55 tanks, eight personnel carriers, and four troop trucks.“Javelin's accuracy and effective range appeared under-rated,” Antenori told the audience.
		In addition to its outstanding performance, the warfighters appreciated Javelin's low profile: hearing protection was not required, the missile had little back-blast and the enemy could not identify their position due to the missile's quiet launch.
