Rafael unveils: SPIKE ER2

Rafael Advanced Defense Systems Ltd. announces SPIKE ER2, a 5th Generation Extended Range missile, designed to enable Joint 5th generation tactical overmatch for ground maneuver, Rotary dominance & naval deterrence.

The new missile, which will be unveiled at MSPO 2018 in Kielce, Poland, features a number of new capabilities, and a combination of greater standoff range of up to 10 km for surface launch, and 16 km when fired from a helicopter, NLOS engagement capabilities (launch to grid coordinate), while retaining the SPIKE legacy of relatively light weight (less than 34kg) and high lethality. All these constitute significant differentiating factors for the market of precision-guided missiles.

The SPIKE ER2 is part of the legacy of the wider SPIKE Missile family, which has evolved into one of the most combat-proven missiles, integrated to more than 45 platforms, in use by 30 nations, with over 30,000 missiles already supplied and 5000 missiles fired.
