Javelin-Close Combat Missile
System

Introduction


The Javelin surface-attack guided missile and launcher is a fire-andforget, man- portable medium close combat missile system
consisting of a command launch unit (CLU) and a round. The Javelin
is operated by an individual Soldier or in crews of two or three.
Soldiers can use the Javelin during the day, at night, and during
limited visibility conditions.



The Javelin is a fire-and-forget, shoulder-fired weapon that consists
of a reusable M98A1 CLU and a round. The CLU houses the
daysight, night vision sight (NVS), controls, and indicators. The
round consists of the missile, the launch tube assembly (LTA), and
the battery coolant unit (BCU). The missile contains the guidance
section, mid-body section, warhead section, propulsion section, and
control actuator section. The LTA serves as the launch platform and
carrying container for the missile.
