  3. SMAW-D M141 Bunker Defeat Munition (BDM) Shoulder-launched Multipurpose Assault Weapon, Disposable (SMAW-D)

  4. DESCRIPTION • SMAW-D provides massive target over-match effects against field fortifications, urban structures, brick masonry, and lightly armored vehicles. • Weighs 15.7 pounds and is 32 inches in length. • Effective ranges of 15-500 meters. • Includes a night sight mounting fixture. • Transported by one soldier, and is airdrop certified • On soft targets, the fuze delays warhead detonation until the rocket has buried deep into the target. Hard targets cause the fuze to detonate immediately. • Breaches 8-inch reinforced concrete and 12-inch triple brick walls.

  5. MAAWS M3 Multi-Role Anti-Armor Anti-Personnel Weapon System (MAAWS)

  6. DESCRIPTION • Description: A shoulder-fired, air jumpable, and swimmable system. An 84mm non-developmental item (NDI) recoilless rifle system consisting of: • M3 Carl Gustav reusable launcher compatible with current standard optical devices. • High explosive anti-tank (HEAT) round. • High explosive dual purpose (HEDP) round. • High explosive (HE) round for anti-personnel use. • Smoke round. • Illumination round. • Full and subcaliber training systems. • The M3 Rifle weighs approximately 25 pounds and is 42 inches in length. The ammunition weighs between 7 to 10 pounds. • The effective range depending on the ammunition type varies from 200 to 1300 meters. • There is a Picatinny Fire Control Device (PFCD) used as a mount for optical/night sights to address trajectory differences between HEAT, HE, and HEDP rounds. • System fielded with U.S. Army Special Operations Command since 1990. • Contractor: Bofors Weapons Systems; Sweden

  7. JAVELIN

  8. DESCRIPTION • The Javelin is a manportable, fire-and-forget, antitank missile employed by dismounted infantry to defeat current and future threat armored combat vehicles. • A soft launch ejects the missile from the launch tube to give a low- recoil shoulder launch. The soft launch enables firing from inside buildings or covered positions. • The weapon has two attack modes, direct or top attack. Direct attack mode to engage covered targets, bunkers, buildings and helicopters. Top attack mode is selected against tanks. • Launched at an 18° elevation angle to reach a peak altitude of 150m in top attack mode and 50m in direct fire mode. • Javelin has been selected by UK, Taiwan, Lithuania, Jordan, Australia, New Zealand, Norway, Ireland, Canada, and the Czech Republic. • Javelin is intended to replace the Dragon system in the Army
