FGM-148 Javelin



The FGM-148 Javelin is an American-made, man-portable third generation Anti-Tank Guided Missile (ATGM) launcher manufactured by Raytheon and Lockheed Martin.

Singleplayer
The FGM-148 Javelin is available during the singleplayer mission Operation Guillotine, where it is first used by a USMC anti-armor team to destroy a T-90 that has the Player's squad pinned down; it is later used by the player to destroy the remaining tanks.

Co-Op
The FGM-148 Javelin appears in the mission Operation Exodus where it is the secondary weapon of both players.

Multiplayer
The FGM-148 Javelin is an unlockable anti-vehicle weapon for the Engineer kit. It is capable of locking on to ground vehicles. As a guided weapon, the Javelin can be hindered by Thermal Camo or Stealth, defeated by IR Smoke. It is capable of disabling tanks with one missile and destroying tanks with two missiles. Jets however, cannot be locked-on to.

The Javelin benefits from laser designation, allowing it to fire in top-attack mode, causing more damage.

It was first seen in the "Battlefield 3: Caspian Border Gameplay Trailer" kill feed committing a double kill.
