![]() ![]() It is the forward section of the missile and includes the seeker head section and guidance electronics unit. The guidance section provides target tracking and flight control signals. A discussion of the guidance section and warhead follows. The Javelin missile consists of the guidance section the midbody section, the warhead, the propulsion section, and control actuator section. The Javelin gunner should be able to engage up to three targets in two minutes, making him effective against armor threat. It supports the fires of tanks and TOWs, covers secondary armor avenues of approach, and provides observation posts with an antiarmor capability. When BFV are part of a combined-arms team, the Javelin becomes a secondary antiarmor weapons system. In addition, the Javelin CLU can be used alone as an aided vision device for reconnaissance, security operations, and surveillance. The Javelin can be employed in a secondary role of providing FS against point targets such as bunkers and crew-served weapons positions. The Javelin CCMS’ primary role is to destroy enemy armored vehicles out to 2000 meters with the M98A meters with the M98A2. (Refer to TC 3-22.37 for more information.) The LTA serves as the launch platform and carrying container of the missile. The round consists of the missile, the launch tube assembly ( LTA), and battery coolant unit (BCU). (See figure G-8.) The CLU houses the daysight, night vision sight (NVS), controls, and indicators. The Javelin is a fire-and-forget, shoulder-fired, man-portable CCMS consisting of a reusable M98A1 (Block 0) and the improved M98A2 (Block 1), CLU and a round. The TOW’s Bunker Buster ( BB) round is capable of destroying the majority of urban targets. These systems have a moderate capability against bunkers, buildings, and other fortified targets commonly found during combat in urban areas. The TOW and Javelin provide overmatch antitank fires during the assault and provide extended range capability for engaging armor during both offensive and defensive missions. In the current force, this category of weapons includes the TOW and Javelin. CCMS are used primarily to defeat main battle tanks and other armored combat vehicles. ![]()
