On August 19, 2024, the State Department approved a possible Foreign Military Sale to the Government of Australia for FGM-148F Javelin Missiles and related equipment at an estimated cost of $100 million. The Defense Security Cooperation Agency has issued the required certification notifying Congress of this potential sale.
The Australian Government has requested to purchase three hundred fifty (350) Javelin FGM-148F missiles (including four (4) fly-to-buy missiles). Also included are U.S. Government technical assistance, technical data, repair and return services, and other related elements of logistics and program support. The estimated cost is $100 million.
The prime U.S. contractor will be the Javelin Joint Venture between Lockheed Martin in Orlando, FL, and Raytheon Missiles and Defense in Tucson, AZ. Implementation of this proposed sale will not require the assignment of any U.S. Government or contractor representatives to Australia.
