The vertical scale does not start at zero: the baseline sits just below this program’s smallest year, so a low point on this line is not a small amount. Read the shape for direction and the grid below for the figures.

Asked vs spent: the PB2023 book requested $7.87M for FY2023; the PB2025 book reported $15.9M as actual total obligation authority — $8.03M above the request. 15.9 − 7.9 = 8.0 USD millions — the compact figures above are rounded for reading.

Description
Mission — JAVELIN
The Javelin Advanced Anti-Tank Weapon System-Medium (AAWS-M) is a man-portable, fire-and-forget, medium-range missile with enhanced situational awareness and precision direct-fire effects to defeat armored vehicles, fortifications, and soft targets in a range of military operations. Javelin has a high kill rate against a variety of targets at extended ranges under day/night, battlefield obscurants, adverse weather and multiple counter-measure conditions. The system's soft launch feature permits firing from a fighting position or an enclosure. Javelin uses a modular design to allow the system to evolve to meet changing threats and requirements via both software and hardware upgrades. The system consists of a reusable Command Launch Unit (CLU) with a built-in-test (BIT), and a modular missile encased in a disposable launch tube assembly. The system also includes training devices for tactical training and classroom training. Javelin's fire-and-forget technology allows the gunner to fire and immediately take cover, to move to another fighting position, or to reload. The Javelin provides enhanced lethality through the use of a tandem multi-purpose warhead which will defeat all known armor threats. It is effective against both stationary and moving targets. This system also provides defensive capability against attacking/hovering helicopters. The CLU can also be used as a stand-alone surveillance and target acquisition asset. Javelin can be adapted for use on a variety of platforms and remote weapon stations using the Javelin Vehicle Platform Adapter Kit (JVPAK). The Javelin weapon system is an Army-led, Acquisition Category (ACAT) IC Major Defense Acquisition Program (MDAP) that has joint interest with United States forces and international partners. Research, Development, Test & Evaluation (RDT&E) funding provides for system improvements in accordance with the Javelin Capabilities Production Document objectives and user priorities for future development. FY 2026 dollars in the amount of $9.810 million will continue Javelin system improvements to address emerging threats, improve engagement timeline, and increase lethality. The FY 2026 request was reduced by $0.247 million for Advisory and Assistance Services to promote efficiencies and advance the policies of the Administration in alignment with Executive Order 14222, "Implementing the President's Department of Government Efficiency Cost Efficiency Initiative."

Justification
Accomplishments & Planned Programs (3)
Javelin System Improvements
Lightweight Command Launch Unit (LWCLU) provides improved capability to the warfighter by increasing the target identification range, while reducing engagement time and soldier burden. LWCLU and Missile Software improvements will address emerging threats, improve engagement timeline, and increase lethality. Complete Delta Qualification of LWCLU and critical software/hardware upgrades for the Javelin Missile System.
Integration and Countermeasure/Threat management
Integration and Countermeasure/Threat management allows for technical assessments, concept studies, documentation, prototypes, demonstrations and risk mitigation efforts to address emerging threats and to maintain modernized overmatch capability for U.S. and allied ground forces. Completed SIMEXp 24-6 with Fort Benning Maneuver Battle Lab to understand potential performance improvements addressed in the Soldier Requirements Division capability prioritization memo.
SBIR/STTR Transfer
Funding transferred in accordance with Title 15 USC 638.

Contractor concentration
No concentration index is published for this line. This line's high-confidence links do not clear the floor for a published concentration index — at least 3 awards across 2 contractor families holding positive obligations, with positive net linked dollars. An index below that floor is a fact about the sample, not about the market. Whatever further links this line carries are medium-confidence, and what each medium evidence path does and does not establish is set out in the methodology. Both bases are in the downloadable warehouse.
Lobbying mentions
No Senate LDA lobbying filing in the tracked data mentions this program element by code or alias.
Oversight
Department-level designation (not specific to this program)
GAO lists 5 high-risk areas for DOD as a whole. That designation covers the department, not JAVELIN. No program-specific GAO finding for this line is in the ingested data. See the DOD oversight record.
Program dossier
No research dossier for this program — dossiers cover 50 of 1,938 programs, the largest fully J-book-detailed lines by FY2026 requested dollars. why no dossier here? →
