The problem with a computerized sight on an unguided weapon is that, while your claimed effective range is 600m, the hit percentage drops significantly the further out you go. Hitting moving targets is an exercise in (now computerized) educated guesswork.
OTOH, guided weapons have less of a hit chance drop off as range increases.
Just seems like if you could build a CLU that was lighter than Javelin and use a large range of existing unguided and guided munitions (60mm, 90mm, 110mm, maybe 124mm with HEAT, bunker buster, HESH, timed-airburst), you could more effectively tailor munition to METT-TC.
One would also hope it'd be a lot less expensive than the Javelin CLU/missile combo.
