Rafael adapts its SPIKE NLOS long range missile for naval warfare
 
During Euronaval 2014 in Paris, Rafael is highlighting naval variant of its newest ultra- long range, high-impact SPIKE missile. The SPIKE Family consists of missiles suited for land, air and sea platforms, multiple ranges and a variety of targets. The missiles in this family have sophisticated electro-optic CCD or IIR sensors for day/night all-weather operation, as well as a tandem warhead. Their lofted trajectories enable the warhead to strike the target at its most vulnerable location with pinpoint precision.

The missiles SPIKE's family have sophisticated electro-optic CCD or IIR sensors for day/night all-weather operation, as well as a tandem warhead. Their lofted trajectories enable the warhead to strike the target at its most vulnerable location with pinpoint precision. All of the SPIKE Family members have a low life-cycle cost, due to high reliability and operational, logistic support and production commonality between members.

Spike NLOS is an electro-optically guided multipurpose missile for ranges of up to 25 km with pinpoint accuracy and midcourse navigation. The weapon system can be launched from land, air and naval platforms.

Equipped with a variety of warheads, a wireless data link to the missile, unique advantages of hitting non-line of sight (NLOS) targets and the ability to switch between targets and abort missions, Spike NLOS can be operated in both offensive and defensive scenarios. In addition to attacking hidden targets, Spike NLOS can provide real-time tactical intelligence and damage assessment.

Spike NLOS is designed to be integrated into the modern battle arena and can receive target location from an embedded TAS system, external sensors, C4I center or UAVs.

Featuring day/night all-weather target engagement capability, Spike NLOS is the ideal solution for naval, urban, anti-armor and high-intensity combat, as well as asymmetric conflicts and stand-off missions (small group, remote/special operations).

With high reliability and ease of use, Spike NLOS delivers maximum operational flexibility with minimal life-cycle cost.
