The U.S. Army is now in possession of
the next generation of the Javelin anti-tank weapon, a system designed to help
soldiers identify and destroy targets from farther away and with less weight to
carry.
A recent delivery of the new and
improved Javelin system offers soldiers double the target detection and
recognition range of its predecessor, according to a Tuesday statement by
weapons conglomerate RTX.
