Javelin is a highly advanced, man-portable anti-tank guided munition designed to be carried and launched by a single operator.

Javelin provides a medium-range, fire-and-forget missile solution capable of defeating a wide range of threats, including armored vehicles, bunkers, and fortified positions.

The system can be deployed from multiple platforms and has demonstrated successful operation from remote launchers mounted on unmanned ground vehicles. Javelin has been combat-proven in more than 5,000 engagements across Afghanistan and Iraq and is planned to remain in service through at least 2050.
