Summary	0001615: Javelin Accuracy

Description	I knew there something about it, but my memory is getting worse. Thanks to http://www.darkgovernment.com/news/javelin-fgm-148-anti-tank-weapon/ [^] i remember what was that. If i stand near the wreck on fire, javeling isnt capapble of aiming me (should not be), but actually it is. "The NVS uses the infrared naturally emitted from objects. Infrared crossover is the time at dawn and dusk that the terrain and the target are close enough in temperature to cause the target to blend in with its surroundings. If there is little difference in the amount of infrared energy between a target and its background, then neither the Javelin CLU nor the missile seeker can see the target well, thus greatly degrading the performance of the Javelin. - This situation may last as long as an hour, until either the background or the target changes temperature enough to become detectable. - Natural clutter is when the sun heats objects to a close enough temperature that it causes the target to blend in with the surrounding terrain. - Artificial clutter occurs when there are man-made objects that emit large amounts of infrared (for example, burning vehicles). - Heavy fog reduces the capability of the gunner to detect and engage targets"
