The total value of the proposed deal is estimated at up to 46 million USD. If a government-to-government Letter of Offer and Acceptance (LOA) is signed, the contract will be fulfilled by Lockheed Martin and RTX, both members of the Javelin Joint Venture.
The planned purchase is likely intended to replenish stockpiles previously used during operational deployment. Ireland originally received 36 Javelin missiles in 2006, alongside an undisclosed number of CLU modules.
The Javelin remains the primary anti-tank weapon of the Irish infantry, supported by AT4 anti-tank grenade launchers and Carl Gustaf multi-role weapons.
