Excalibur® artillery projectile
With more than 1,400 rounds fired in combat to date, the Excalibur artillery projectile increases precision, minimises collateral damage and reduces the logistical burden for international artillery forces.
Sweden, Canada, Australia, Jordan, India, Spain and the Netherlands have chosen the Excalibur precision-guided projectile to address vital security interests.
Javelin anti-tank guided munition
Javelin is an anti-tank guided munition that can be carried and launched by a single person. It is made by the Javelin Joint Venture, a partnership between Raytheon and Lockheed Martin.
In 2025 the British Army conducted their first successful live fire using Javelin’s Lightweight Command Launch Unit (LWCLU) at extended range. The 4km shot, a record distance for LWCLU, on Salisbury Plain demonstrated its enhanced battlefield effectiveness.
