The $1.3 billion order is the largest single-year Javelin production contract to date, reflecting increased demands not only from the US military but also from international partners like Ukraine and Taiwan.
'Through this contract, we will continue to produce and deliver this needed capability to support global ground forces in their efforts to protect and defend their interests and sovereignty,' said Andy Amaro.
The Javelin is a man-portable, over-the-shoulder missile system designed to target armored vehicles, with a fire-and-forget principle that enhances its desirability among military forces.
Part of the need for the follow-on order is due to the increased demand for Javelin worldwide, which highlights its recognized effectiveness in various combat settings.
