Javelin Shoulder Fired Anti-Armor Missile

Wednesday, November 29th, 2006



Check out this awesome shoulder filed anti-armor system, named “Javelin” - mainly used to take out tanks.

“Using an arched top-attack profile, Javelin climbs above its target for improved visibility and then strikes where the armor is weakest. To fire, the gunner places a cursor over the selected target. The Javelin command launch unit then sends a lock-on-before-launch signal to the missile. With its soft launch design, Javelin can be safely fired from inside buildings or bunkers.”

This is one awesome gattling gun being fired from a helicopter.  I’d hate to be in the path of the bullets!  I’m not sure what kind of helicopter that is, but almost looks like a Huey.  Does anyone out there know more about the helicopter and the gun?
