The missiles in this family have sophisticated electro-optic (EO) CCD or IIR sensors for day/night all-weather operation, as well as a tandem warhead.
The SPIKE missiles are operational and combat proven in many Air Forces around the world; among them the Italian, Dutch, Spanish, and German Forces.
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 and logistic support and production commonality between members.
The SPIKE NLOS is an EO guided multipurpose missile for ranges of up to 25km 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 centre or UAVs.
Featuring day/night all-weather target engagement capability, SPIKE NLOS is the ideal solution for urban, anti-armour 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.
The SPIKE-ER is an extended-range, multi-purpose anti-armour missile system designed for mounting on various platforms, including helicopters, fast boats and combat vehicles.
It can also be dismounted to a ground position and fitted onto a tripod. SPIKE-ER is capable of defeating tanks at a range of up to 8 kilometres.
SPIKE-ER features a day or day/night seeker, tandem warhead, and retains the dual operation modes of Spike – Fire-and-Forget, as well as Fire-and-Observe and Update. This enables the gunner to switch between targets after launch, avoid friendly fire, conduct surveillance/damage assessment and attack hidden targets.
SPIKE-ER additionally features a Fire and Steer mode, in which the gunner can launch the missile without pre-locking onto the target and manually steer it to the target (LOAL).
SPIKE-ER can be equipped with a variety of warheads for a broad range of combat scenarios including urban settings, anti-terror missions and low-intensity conflicts.
The compact system includes the Spike-ER missile in its canister, the Command Launch Unit (CLU), a thermal sight and the Spike-ER launcher.
