 Each Javelin flew distances between 1.2 and 4.3 kilometers (0.75 and 2.65 miles) and hit the ground target each time.The UK's live-fire tests "confirm Javelin's greater than 94 percent reliability rate and demonstrate Javelin's capability to engage targets from increased standoff distances on various platforms".Although the CLU's thermal imaging may hinder aiming, its thermal targeting allows the Javelin to be a fire-and-forget system.
