原文:

 A software problem with the US Army's new Javelin launcher has been corrected, but development of a new shoulder-fired missile remains on hold, the service told Breaking Defense.

 Lockheed Martin and Raytheon's Javelin Joint Venture is tapped for a modernization effort that includes a Light Weight Command Launch Unit (LW CLU) and the new G-model missile (to be designed the FGM-148G). Both have encountered problems, as detailed in this year's Pentagon test report, published earlier this month.

 According to a Javelin Joint Venture spokeswoman, that launcher problem stemmed from a "discovery related to a battery in an end of life state." "This was promptly resolved with a software update and subsequent testing confirmed the fix," she wrote in a statement."The system demonstrated optimal performance, showcasing it enhanced capabilities for extended range.

 A spokesman for the Army's Program Executive Office (PEO) for Missile and Space confirmed the software fix and said the service plans to continue launcher testing this year to ensure it works as planned. If everything proceeds smoothly, service leaders want to make a full-rate production decision, and begin fielding the first launchers in mid-FY25, he added.

中譯:

 美陸軍表示,新型標槍飛彈發射器的軟體缺失已修正,不過「新型肩射型飛彈研發案」仍然遭到擱置。

 洛馬和雷神公司標槍飛彈合資企業進行的現代化作為,包括「輕量化指令發射單元」和「新G型標槍飛彈」,兩者都遭遇問題,國防部在本月初公布的「2024測試報告」中有詳細說明。

 據洛馬和雷神公司標槍飛彈合資企業發言人表示,標槍飛彈發射器問題與「電池壽終狀態」有關。她在聲明中寫到:「已立即以更新軟體方式解決此一問題,並經後續測試後確定已修復。」、「本系統已顯現最佳性能和增程強化的續航能力。」

 陸軍「飛彈和太空計畫執行室」發言人確認軟體缺失已修正,並表示陸軍今年仍持續測試發射器,以確保發射器能按原計畫正常運作,若測試工作順利,陸軍高層官員決定全速生產,並在2025財年中旬,開始將第一批發射器撥交部隊。
