Hate to burst your buble, but the Javelin missile system is nothing new. The Normandy SR-2 uses Javelin Torpedo Launchers as its primary weapon system and it can be seen in action against the Oculus Drones and the Collector ship (if you did not add the Thanix cannon)
The very idea of mounting Javelins on Dreadnoughts is ineffecient and has probably only been done because they ahd the ressources and expect knife fights. Javelin Torpedoes or oversized Disruptor Torpedoes as it really is are close range slow weapons and the primary target of the GARDIAN system on ships. Therefore they are most useful on Frigates as they are fast and usualy operate close to the enemy.
Launching them at Relay speeds would be impossible as the Relays operate by a two point system where a mass free corridor is created between the two points. Shortly said you would need the Reaper you are targeting to be part of the Corridor system to launch the missiles in that way. Even if you could do that somehow, the drift caused by Relay travel would most likely make the missile miss anyway.
FTL speed is also near impossible for Disruptor Torpedoes as they cause a mass increasing field as part of their payload, the opposite of the mass decreasing field needed for FTL travel.
However there is some good parts to this idea. I always found it odd that that paticular codex entry would be under the Crucible as it seems directed at the fleet...but a system for guiding vast qunatities of missiles and the energy to make them go faster or quickly charge them or similar could have uses.
Firing lets say a thousand Disruptor Torpedoes in a Javelin pattern would have two extreme effects. First of the the massive amount of missiles would completely overwhelm GARDIAN systems, but even more important is the second part of the Javelin system, the Dark Energy Resonance power increase caused by the recise detonations of the missiles. Nornally two missiles are used in such a way, but a system which could coordinate the precisely timed detonation of a thousand missiles at once? The magnified effect would be incredible.
Just my two cents on this.
Didn't know the Javelin missiles were already in use.

I always got the Normandy fully upgraded.
About the drift, as long as we have a real-time map of the galaxy with the I.Array, we could circumvent the drift allowing missed missiles not to collide with Planets and the like.
Wouldn't the corridor the Mass Relay generate act like the barrel of a gun (increasing velocity on exit) ?
What about the Dark Energy propelling the missile through the ME corridor?
Couldn't the D.E surrounding it slightly disrupt the mass-increase phenomenon while in travel?
Thaks for the feedback.
I like your idea on the timed detonation, would make more sense.
