About Javelin

• Developed and produced by the Javelin Joint Venture (JJV) between Raytheon and Lockheed Martin, Javelin ^® is a versatile, one-man-portable and multi-purpose weapon system that provides the capability to defeat a broad spectrum of threats under all conditions.
• Javelin offers more than 20 years of proven performance, which includes combat operations in multiple theaters with more than 5,000 firings before the Ukraine conflict started.
• Javelin employs fire-and-forget missile guidance technology over its entire engagement capability envelope of 65 meters to 4 kilometers in most operating conditions, affording the highest level of survivability to the user.
• A key component to ensuring a successful Javelin ramp has been preparing its robust supplier network for the impending increase in missile production. The production line at Troy is currently at a 3,000 per year Javelin production capacity, and the supply chain that fuels the factories is on a parallel climb.
• A key milestone in this effort was the Javelin supply base completing their non-recurring engineering (NRE) efforts, which included additional tooling, test sets and floor space in some cases which creates a solid foundation for the full production ramp moving forward.
• Each supplier spent eight to 10 months completing the required updates to achieve the overall production ramp output starting later this year.
• On September 3, the U.S. Army awarded the Javelin Joint Venture (JJV) a follow-on fiscal year 2025 production contract for Javelin® missiles and associated equipment and services with a total value not to exceed $900.5 million. In addition, Brazil and Tunisia are included in the Foreign Military Sales (FMS) as a part of this contract, a pivotal JJV milestone as they are the first Southern American and North African Javelin users, respectively.
• With the addition of Brazil and Tunisia, the Javelin weapon system is currently being used on all continents across the globe, except for Antarctica.
• On September 6, 2023, Polska Grupa Zbrojeniowa (PGZ) and the Javelin Joint Venture (JJV), a partnership between Raytheon and Lockheed Martin, entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) regarding the production of the Javelin anti-tank weapon system in Poland. The JJV-PGZ MOU agreement further strengthens Poland’s relationship with both Raytheon and Lockheed Martin.
