0001 00-10

TM 9-1425-688-10 0001 00
SAFETY, CARE, AND HANDLING – (Continued)
CLU Handling
CAUTION
• If CLU has been in storage in excess of 30 days,
DO NOT power-up CLU in NVS mode of
operation or place switch in TEST position.
Power-up CLU in day mode for at least five
minutes. Failure to comply will damage CRT.
• If CLU has been in storage longer than one
year, CLU must be powered-up in day mode for
a minimum of 12 hours. DO NOT place switch in
NIGHT or TEST position sooner than 12 hours.
The Javelin CLU is shipped and stored in the CLU shipping
and storage container. The CLU shipping and storage
container protects the CLU during transportation, storage,
and associated handling. The CLU shipping and storage
container also protects the CLU from natural and induced
environments, including nuclear, biological, and chemical
(NBC) environments.
During unit storage keep the CLU in the CLU shipping and
storage container, sealed with a security seal.
0001 00-11

0001 00 TM 9-1425-688-10
Round Handling
CAUTION
• The Launch Tube Assembly provides
environmental and physical protection for the
missile. Do not attempt to remove the missile
from the Launch Tube Assembly.
• Do not handle the round roughly or drop it.
Rough handling may damage the missile motor
or missile components and cause a malfunction
at launch or in flight.
The Javelin round is shipped and stored in the round shipping
and storage container. The round shipping and storage
container protects the round during transportation, storage,
and associated handling. The round shipping and storage
container also protects the round from natural and induced
environments, including NBC environments.
0001 00-12

TM 9-1425-688-10 0001 00
Design features of the round shipping and storage container
include:
• A cover assembly containing a latch mechanism
that provides environmental and Electromagnetic
Interference (EMI) seals.
• Pressure and humidity control provided by a
humidity indicator, 2 packages of desiccant, and a
pressure release valve controlling positive and
negative container pressure to two pounds per
square inch differential.
• Four handles for lifting and tiedown and interlocking
posts to provide stack stability.
Rounds may be stacked 8 high in indoor storage, and 4 high
(depending on stack stability) on level, improved outdoor
storage. Use 4-inch dunnage for indoor storage and 6-inch
dunnage for outdoor storage. Do not use dunnage between
stack layers, containers have interlocking feature.
The nose end of rounds in storage must be pointed in the
direction posing the least hazard to personnel and equipment
in case of fire or accidental explosion.
Temporary shelters (tarpaulin covered, shed, etc.). Javelin
rounds may be maintained in this type of storage with storage
site location in a well drained area. Tarpaulin or cover should
be placed in a manner to permit free air circulation while still
protecting rounds from direct sunlight. This type of storage
should be used only when mission requirements dictate and
should not exceed 30 days.
0001 00-13

0001 00 TM 9-1425-688-10
Open storage (without tarpaulin, shed etc.) will be permitted
only during wartime and during firing exercises. Before

GENERAL INFORMATION
M98A1 NSN 1430-01-433-8019
THEORY OF OPERATION
SCOPE
Javelin is made up of the CLU and a one-time expendable
round. The CLU is manportable, reusable, battery operated,
and is the gunner's interface with the round. The CLU
provides passive day/night surveillance, target detection,
classification and recognition, battlefield damage
assessment, CLU status, built-in test (BIT), and missile
software storage capabilities. When a round is connected, the
CLU provides missile status indication, missile software
download, and launch capabilities.
CLU OPERATION
The CLU has four modes of operation: OFF, DAY, NIGHT,
and TEST. The operational modes are controlled by the
power switch.
Figure 1. Power Switch
0003 00-1

0003 00 TM 9-1425-688-10
CLU OPERATION – (Continued)
The CLU may not power up properly the first time it is turned
on. Instead of performing normally, the CLU indicators will
flash. This behavior occurs when the CLU battery is not able
to generate the voltage needed. Leaving the power switch in
DAY position for about a minute, then cycling power will
condition the battery to supply power to the CLU. The power
may have to be cycled on and off several times before the
battery is warm enough to begin normal operation.
Off Mode. Power switch is in the OFF position. In this mode,
no power is applied to the CLU. The daysight can be used for
surveillance, target detection, and recognition. The NVS
cannot be used and the gunner has no missile launch
capability.
Day Mode. Power switch is in the DAY position. In this mode,
power is applied to the CLU. The day FOV can be used to
acquire a target. The gunner has full missile launch capability.
Night Mode. Power switch is in the NIGHT position. In this
mode, NVS cooldown is initiated. NVS cooldown time is
approximately 2.5 minutes. The gunner has full missile launch
capability.
Test Mode. Power switch is placed in the TEST position,
then released. BIT can only be performed when a round is
not attached to the CLU. When a round is attached, the TEST
position is ignored. Results of BIT are displayed on the CLU
display within about 20 seconds of initiation. If a failure is
detected during BIT, the CLU BIT FAILURE 7 indicator will
light.
0003 00-2

TM 9-1425-688-10 0003 00
JAVELIN OPTICAL SYSTEMS AND FIELDS OF VIEW
Javelin is equipped with three optical systems; two in the CLU
(daysight and NVS) and one in the round (seeker). An optical
system is a series of optical elements (lenses, mirrors, filters,
etc.) that gather light at the system’s input and develop an
image at its output. In this case, the output is to the gunner.
The area of a scene that can be viewed at one time through
an optical system is the FOV.
An optical system’s FOV is related to the system’s
magnification. The wider the FOV’s coverage, the less
magnification it has. The narrower the FOV's area of
coverage, the greater magnification it has. Javelin has four
FOVs. They include: day FOV, WFOV, NFOV, and seeker
FOV. The daysight provides the day FOV. The Night Vision
Sight provides WFOV and NFOV. The seeker, found in the
missile, provides seeker FOV.
Daysight. The daysight is like a telescope. It provides day
FOV for the gunner. Day FOV is used when visibility is good.
It is also used to engage a target when the gunner cannot
wait the 2.5 minutes required for the NVS to cool down.

0003 00-3

0003 00 TM 9-1425-688-10
JAVELIN OPTICAL SYSTEMS AND FIELDS OF VIEW –
(Continued)
Night Vision Sight. The NVS is an imaging infrared (IR)
system. It converts an infrared target into a visible target
image. This allows the gunner to see during daytime and
conditions of limited visibility. The NVS has two fields of view:
WFOV and NFOV.
Wide Field of View. The WFOV provides the gunner with a
4x magnification of the target scene. With an area of
coverage approximately 6° x 4°, WFOV covers a large or
wide area compared to NFOV. This allows the gunner to scan
a large general area to detect potential targets. However, the
gunner will not be able to distinguish target detail. As a result,
WFOV is used for surveillance and target detection.
Figure 3. Wide Field Of View
0003 00-4

TM 9-1425-688-10 0003 00
(Continued)
Narrow Field Of View. The NFOV provides an infrared
image with 9x magnification of the target scene. With an area
of coverage approximately 3° x 2°, NFOV covers a smaller, or
narrower, area of the scene than WFOV. The gunner would
have to move the CLU back-and-forth and up-and-down in
NFOV to cover the same area as WFOV. The gunner only
uses NFOV after locating a potential target. This lets the
gunner see a potential target’s details more clearly so the
gunner can determine whether or not it’s a target. Therefore,
NFOV is used primarily to classify and recognize a target, but
it can be used for battle assessment also.
Figure 4. Narrow Field Of View
0003 00-5

0003 00 TM 9-1425-688-10
(Continued)
Seeker Field Of View. The seeker FOV provides an infrared
image as seen through the missile with 9x magnification of
the target scene. Images in seeker FOV are not as detailed
due to the limitations of the optics of the seeker. This FOV is
used to lock on to a target and engage it.
Figure 5. Seeker Field of View
0003 00-6

TM 9-1425-688-10 0003 00
SEEKER OPERATION
Seeker Activation. The CLU must be attached to a round
before the seeker can be activated. Squeezing the seeker
trigger when in DAY mode of NVS mode can activate the
seeker. Once the gunner squeezes the seeker trigger, it
initializes software download from the CLU to the missile. The
seeker begins to cool down and the missile powers up, the
1 and < indicators will light up on the CLU display until
the seeker is ready for use (10-15 seconds). The CLU display
will change from either ., /, or 0 to 1. Track gates will
appear and flash, the < indicator will go out and the 2
attack indicator will come on.

Track Gate Adjustments. The gunner uses track gates to
lock the seeker onto the target. Track gates are adjusted
using the GATE ADJ/CTRS & BRT switch. Track gate
adjustments can only be done after seeker activation and
prior to lock-on.

the target, the gunner squeezes and holds the seeker trigger.
Two things happen to indicate lock-on has occurred. The
track gates stop flashing and solid crosshairs appear on the
CLU display.

0003 00-9

0003 00 TM 9-1425-688-10
MISSILE OPERATION
Missile Attack Modes. The Javelin can kill a target at two
thousand meters. In addition, the missile has two gunner-
selectable attack modes (top or direct). Each mode has its
own peculiar flight path or "profile" for reaching the target.
Top Attack Mode. In top attack, the missile comes from
above the target to impact and detonate on top of the target.
This capability allows you to attack a vehicle from the front,
the rear or a flank position. Generally, armored vehicles have
less protective armor on top. By striking the top of the vehicle,
the missile penetrates the vehicle and still has enough
explosive force remaining to do extensive damage inside the
target vehicle. This mode greatly increases the probability of
a kill.
Top attack is the default missile mode when the seeker is first
activated. The exact profile of the missile during flight
depends on range to the target and is determined
automatically by the missile on-board software.
If the target is under a protective structure, using top attack
may cause the missile to impact and detonate on the
structure instead of the target. To avoid this, the missile can
be programmed for direct attack.
Figure 9. Top Attack Mode and Flight Paths
0003 00-10

TM 9-1425-688-10 0003 00
MISSILE OPERATION – (Continued)
Direct Attack Mode. In the direct attack mode, the missile
impacts and detonates on the side of the vehicle. The direct
attack mode flight allows the missile to reach a target that is
under a protective structure at a maximum range of 2000
meters. To do this, the missile flies a more direct route from
the gunner to the target vehicle. Direct attack can be selected
only after the seeker is activated when the gunner pushes the
ATTK SEL switch on the right handgrip. As in top attack, the
exact profile of the missile flight path depends on the range to
the target.

TARGET ENGAGEABILITY
TARGET ENGAGEABILITY
The gunner uses the stadia in CLU display to determine if a
target is in-range of the Javelin missile. The stadia are based
on the size of an average main battle tank – approximately
10-feet wide and 20-feet long. A tank approximately 20 feet (6
meters) in length, when seen in a flank aspect, bridges the
gap between the stadia at the Javelin's maximum range
(2,000 meters), exceeds the stadia at closer ranges, and
does not bridge the stadia at longer ranges. An approaching
or retreating tank (front or rear aspect) is approximately 10
feet (3 meters) wide, and bridges half the stadia gap at
maximum range. The turret of the main battle tank is
approximately 10 feet (3 meters) in length and width and is
judged in the same way as a front/rear target. Two different
stadia methods are used to determine if targets are in-range.
The stadia method used is based upon target aspect. The
two methods are full-stadia and half-stadia.
FULL-STADIA METHOD
The full-stadia method uses the full distance between the
stadia to determine if a target is in-range. The full-stadia
method is applied equally for the day FOV, WFOV, and
NFOV stadia.
Day FOV Stadia. The full distance between the day
FOV stadia is represented by the day FOV upper stadia.
Apply the day FOV full-stadia method as follows:
0007 00-1

0007 00 TM 9-1425-688-10
FULL-STADIA METHOD – (Continued)
1. Move the day FOV upper stadia to the target,
keeping the target between the day FOV upper
stadia.
Figure 1. Day FOV Upper Stadia
2. Place one side of the day FOV upper stadia on one
edge of the target. If the opposite edge of the target
touches or exceeds the other side of the day FOV
upper stadia, the target is in-range.
Figure 2. Day FOV In-Range Target
0007 00-2

TM 9-1425-688-10 0007 00
3. If the opposite edge of the target does not touch or
exceed the other side of the day FOV upper stadia,
the target is out-of-range.
Figure 3. Day FOV Out-Of-Range Target
0007 00-3

0007 00 TM 9-1425-688-10
WFOV Stadia. Apply the WFOV full-stadia method as
follows:
1. Move the WFOV stadia to the target, keeping the
target between the WFOV stadia.
Figure 4. WFOV Stadia
2. Place one of the WFOV stadia on one edge of the
target. If the opposite edge of the target touches or
exceeds the other WFOV stadia, the target is in-
range.

HALF-STADIA METHOD
Figure 10. Day FOV Lower Stadia
The half-stadia method uses half the distance between the
stadia to determine if a target is in-range. The half-stadia
method is applied differently for the day FOV, WFOV, and
NFOV stadia.
Day FOV Stadia. Half the distance between the day
FOV stadia is represented by day FOV lower stadia.
Apply the day FOV half-stadia method as follows:
1. Move the day FOV lower stadia to the target,
keeping the target between the day FOV lower
stadia.

d. Shake the battery.
NOTE
• Due to the chemical characteristics of the BA-
5590/U CLU battery, if the battery sits for any
extended period of time, a passivation
(oxidation) layer will develop between cells.
This passivation layer can be removed by
shaking the BA-5590/U battery. If this layer is
not removed, it may initially inhibit the start-up
of the CLU.
• A second method to remove the passivation
layer is to place the BA-5590/U battery in a
CLU, turn the CLU switch to night position and
then turn the switch back to the off position.
Repeating the Night/Off switch sequence a few
times will cause the passivation layer to burn-
off and the battery will come up to full voltage
potential.
