Not to be confused with the Raytheon FGM-148 Javelin antitank missile currently making headlines in Ukraine, the Shorts/Thales Javelin was a Man-Portable Air Defense System (MANPADS) introduced into British service in 1984. Based on the earlier and unsuccessful Blowpipe missile, the Javelin featured a more advanced guidance system that allowed it to serve successfully until the early 2000s.
