What is the maximum range of the Javelin?

• A. 2500 meters
• B. 2000 meters
• C. 3000 meters
• D. 1500 meters

Answer: (A)

The maximum range for the Javelin is two and a half kilometers. This limit comes from the missile’s propulsion and guidance: the two-stage solid motor provides enough energy to reach that distance while the seeker and flight profile maintain effective guidance and impact energy. Beyond this range, the missile would struggle to retain accurate guidance and sufficient lethality, so standard doctrine uses up to that maximum while accounting for terrain, visibility, and target movement.
