Rafael unveils Aerospike missile for close-air support
The
Aerospike is based on the Spike LR II, which has a ground-launched
range of 5.5 kilometers and an air-launched range of 10 kilometers.
Papier said the missile weighs 14 kilograms (30.9 pounds), and that it
features a seeker and warhead similar to the Spike variety, although the
weapon is more suited for air-to-ground launches.
A
company statement said the Aerospike can operate in a “contested
environment and without GPS dependency.” It includes scene-matching
technology and “detection and tracking capabilities.”
