Rigging the Advanced Antitank Weapon System-Medium
(Javelin) for Low-Velocity Airdrop
SECTION I-RIGGING TWO-ROUND A-7A DOOR BUNDLE
DESCRIPTION OF LOAD
3-1. The Javelin Missile System is a man-portable antitank weapon system made up of a tactical round in
a disposable launch tube and a reusable Command Launch Unit (CLU). The CLU is not rigged with the
tactical rounds. The Javelin can be airdropped as a door bundle in two-round and four-round
configurations. As a door bundle, the Javelin can be dropped only from C-130 and C-17 aircrafts. The
Javelin two-round A-7A door bundle has an approximate rigged weight of 146 pounds. It has an
approximate height of 65 1/2 inches, a width of 17 1/2 inches and a length of 30 1/4 inches. The two-round
bundle uses the T-10 cargo parachute.
PREPARING TWO-ROUND A-7A DOOR BUNDLE
3-2. Prepare the two-round A-7A door bundle according to FM 4-20.103/MCRP 4-11.3C/TO 13C7-1-11
and as shown in Figure 3-1.
