The Lockheed Martin-Raytheon Javelin JV developed the FGM-148 Javelin for the US Army’s requirement for an Advanced Anti-Tank Weapon System-Medi-um. Selected in 1989, the first Javelins were deployed in 1996 and have been regularly upgraded to keep up with emerging threats. Javelin was the first antitank and multi-target-capable weapon system to employ fire-and-forget imaging IR seeker technology. It consists of a reusable command launch unit and a missile in its sealed launch tube
assembly.
