"The US Army conducted another test launch of the FIM-92 Stinger MANPADS missile from the FGM-148 Javelin ATGM launcher.
The new Lightweight Command Launcher (LWCLU) allows simultaneous use of both Javelin anti-tank missiles and Stinger anti-aircraft missiles. Compared to the original Javelin Command Launcher (CLU), the new LWCLU is one-third lighter and cheaper, and can detect targets twice as far away at night and three times as far during the day. In comparison with the original Stinger launcher, the LWCLU allows you to direct an anti-aircraft missile at night without using additional night vision devices, since it initially has infrared optics. In addition, the LWCLU can receive data directly from radars and other means of detecting air targets of the air defense Control system (FAAD C2)."
