There's a teardown of a Javelin missile guidance system on Youtube! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=11_5TB0-lNw


I used to work on the Javelin guidance system "seeker head". It's wild seeing him tear it apart. Questions like "what is this for" make me laugh. It's all seen as dead simple, but a lot of engineering went into manufacturing them even as recently as a few years ago. Funny he thinks the sampler chip was expensive, he should look up the cost of the optics!
