There are two missiles I know of offhand known as the Javelin - one is an American made anti-armour weapons, and the other is a British antiaircraft weapon.
In the case of the anti-armour weapon, it locks on to the target's heat signature, making it a fire-and-forget weapon.
In the case of the antiaircraft weapon, it uses what's known as Semi Automatic Command toLine of Sight (SACLOS), similar in operation to weapons such as the TOW missile, where the operator must visually keep the weapon sighted onto the target until it is destroyed.

I have the javelin in Battlefield 3 and I thought you could only lock onto land vehicles but my helicopter was shot down by someone with a javelin. So whats up?
the javelin can lock on to land vehicles by itself but if a teammate laser designates it, a square with a dot in the middle will appear over the chopper/jet allowing you to lock on to them with the javelin. (you can laser designate with the recons SOFLAM and with a few vehicles perks)
