Spike (Hebrew: ספייק) is an Israeli fire-and-forget anti-tank guided missile and anti-personnel missile with a tandem-charge high-explosive anti-tank (HEAT) warhead. {{As of|2024}}, it is in its sixth generation.{{Cite web | title=Archived copy | url=https://www.rafael.co.il/system/spike-nlos/ | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240515115734/https://www.rafael.co.il/system/spike-nlos/ | archive-date=2024-05-15}} It was developed and designed by the Israeli company Rafael Advanced Defense Systems. It is available in man-portable, vehicle-launched, helicopter-launched and maritime variants.

The missile can engage and destroy targets within the line-of-sight of the launcher ("fire-and-forget"), and some variants can make a top attack through a "fire, observe and update" method (essentially lock-on after launch); the operator tracking the target, or switching to another target, optically through the trailing fiber-optic wire (or RF link in the case of the vehicle-mounted, long-range NLOS variant) while the missile is climbing to altitude after launch. This is similar to the lofted trajectory flight profile of the US FGM-148 Javelin.

Design

File:Spike cutaway diagram.jpg

File:Spike missile launcher 3.jpg

Spike is a fire-and-forget missile with lock-on before launch and automatic self-guidance. The missile is equipped with an imaging infrared seeker.

The long and extended range versions of the Spike also have the capability of "Fire, Observe and Update" operating mode (also known as Lock-on after launch (LOAL)). The missile is connected by a fiber-optical wire that is spooled out between the launch position and the missile. With this, the operator can obtain a target if it is not in the line of sight of the operator at launch, switch targets in flight, or compensate for the movement of the target if the missile is not tracking the target for some reason. Hence, the missile can be fired speculatively for a target of opportunity, or to provide observation on the other side of an obstacle. The missile has a soft launch capability – the motor firing after the missile has left the launcher – that allows the missile to be fired from confined spaces, which is a necessity in urban warfare.

The missile uses a tandem warhead consisting of two shaped charges: a precursor warhead to detonate any explosive reactive armor, and a primary warhead to penetrate the underlying armor. Currently, it is replacing aging semi-automatic command to line of sight second generation anti-tank missiles like the MILAN and M47 Dragon in the armies of the user nations. Spike missile is also equipped with heat chasing technology.

The Spike system is made up of the launching tripod with its fire control unit and the missile. There is no dedicated thermal sight on the launcher: the missile's imaging seeker is used. Altogether, the long range variant of the system weighs around {{convert|26|kg|lb|abbr=on}}.

Spike can be operated from the launcher by infantry, or from mounts that can be fitted to vehicles such as fast attack vehicles, armoured personnel carriers or utility vehicles. Vehicles that are not normally fitted with anti-tank weapons can therefore be given anti-tank capability.

Spike has been tested as a weapon system for the SAGEM Sperwer unmanned aerial vehicle. The Spanish Army has fitted the Spike ER to its Eurocopter Tiger attack helicopters.{{cite web |url=http://www.spacewar.com/reports/Eurocopter_Fires_Spike_Missile_From_HAD_Tiger_999.html |title=Eurocopter Fires Spike Missile From HAD Tiger |publisher=Spacewar.com |access-date=24 May 2010 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100514123129/http://www.spacewar.com/reports/Eurocopter_Fires_Spike_Missile_From_HAD_Tiger_999.html |archive-date=14 May 2010 |url-status=live}}{{cite web |url=http://www.deagel.com/news/Tiger-HAD-Enters-Firing-Campaign-Using-the-Spike-Missile_n000004947.aspx |title=Tiger HAD Enters Firing Campaign Using the Spike Missile |publisher=Deagel.com |date=12 September 2008 |access-date=24 May 2010 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101017131213/http://www.deagel.com/news/Tiger-HAD-Enters-Firing-Campaign-Using-the-Spike-Missile_n000004947.aspx |archive-date=17 October 2010 |url-status=live}} Both Israel and the United States have experimented with arming Sikorsky UH-60 Black Hawk helicopters with the Spike missile; the US variant is used in UH-60M Battlehawk helicopters.{{cite web |url=http://www.defenseindustrydaily.com/UAE-Ordering-Weaponized-UH-60M-Battlehawk-Helicopters-05078/ |title=UAE Seeks Weaponized UH-60M 'Battlehawk' Helicopters |access-date=28 January 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080921035208/http://www.defenseindustrydaily.com/UAE-Ordering-Weaponized-UH-60M-Battlehawk-Helicopters-05078/ |archive-date=21 September 2008 |url-status=live}}

Marketing

In order to facilitate the selling of the weapon system in Europe, the company EuroSpike GmbH was formed in Germany. Its shareholders are Diehl Defence (40%), Rheinmetall Defence Electronics (40%) and Rafael via ERCAS B.V (20%). ERCAS B.V. is a Dutch holding company owned 100% by Rafael.

EuroSpike GmbH is located in Röthenbach, Germany. The European variant of the Spike weapon system differs a little from the Israeli version and is marketed under the name EuroSpike.{{cite web|url=http://www.eurospike.com/company.html|title=EuroSpike GmbH|publisher=EuroSpike GmbH|access-date=1 July 2010|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101220143556/http://www.eurospike.com/company.html|archive-date=20 December 2010|url-status=dead}}

It is a significantly larger missile than other Spike variants, with an overall weight of around {{convert|70|kg|lb|abbr=on}}. It can be launched from the ground or from helicopters. It was developed following lessons learned in the Yom Kippur War, which showed a need for a high-precision guided tactical ground-to-ground battlefield missile. The first variants entered service with the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) in tandem with the Pereh missile carrier in 1981, though the existence of both was not revealed to the public until 2011.{{cite news|last=Pfeffer|first=Anshil|title=IDF Reveals Tamuz Missile|url=http://www.haaretz.co.il/news/politics/1.1371145|access-date=21 May 2013|newspaper=Haaretz|date=1 August 2011|language=he|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121226190220/http://www.haaretz.co.il/news/politics/1.1371145|archive-date=26 December 2012|url-status=live}}{{cite press release|title=Advanced Spike Missile Unveiled|publisher=Israel Defense Forces' official website|date=25 November 2009|url=http://dover.idf.il/IDF/English/News/Tech/09/default/3001.htm|access-date=29 June 2010|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20091205041934/http://dover.idf.il/IDF/English/News/Tech/09/default/3001.htm|archive-date=5 December 2009}}{{cite web|url=https://www.flightglobal.com/news/articles/rafael-unveils-new-long-range-spike-missile-335463/|title=Rafael unveils new long-range Spike missile|last=Trimble|first=Stephen|date=25 November 2009|publisher=Flight International|access-date=27 August 2011|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120819034502/http://www.flightglobal.com/news/articles/rafael-unveils-new-long-range-spike-missile-335463/|archive-date=19 August 2012|url-status=live}} The Spike NLOS uses a fiber optic link similar to other Spike versions, but only out to 8 km, after which it employs a radio data link for command guidance.[http://tealgroup.com/images/TGCTOC/sample-wmuav.pdf NT Spike] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180612140034/http://tealgroup.com/images/TGCTOC/sample-wmuav.pdf |date=12 June 2018}}.

In 2011 it also became known that in a highly unusual move, the British Army was hastily equipped with the missile for counter-mortar fire, drawn directly from IDF inventory after being exposed to increasing insurgent attacks in Iraq. Beginning in 2007 three variants of the NLOS were procured. A total of 600 missiles were acquired, the breakdown being 200 optical camera equipped NLOS Mk.2 in 2007, 200 thermal imaging equipped NLOS Mk.4 in 2008 for night operations (together with the NLOS Mk.2 these were known as EXACTOR-1), 200 dual camera equipped NLOS Mk.5 (EXACTOR-2) followed in 2009 which featured wings for slower but better maneuvering flight and a multi-purpose warhead replacing the anti-armor warhead of previous versions.{{cite web |date=14 May 2019 |title=SIPRI arms transfer database |url=http://armstrade.sipri.org/page/trade_register.php |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100414022558/http://armstrade.sipri.org/armstrade/page/trade_register.php |archive-date=14 April 2010 |access-date=14 May 2019 |publisher=Stockholm International Peace Research Institute}} For operational security, the codename of 'EXACTOR missile' was assigned in British service and it was initially mounted on launchers atop leased M113 APCs.

Rafael is working on expanding the missile's versatility by enhancing the existing EO-IR/CCD seeker with semi-active laser (SAL) capability and different anti-armor, blast-penetration, and high-explosive fragmentation warheads to meet specific applications.

In 2020 the US Army announced its intention to procure Spike NLOS missiles to be mounted on Apache helicopters.{{Cite web |last=Judson |first=Jen |date=9 January 2020 |title=US Army to field Israeli-made long-range missile on helicopters |url=https://www.defensenews.com/land/2020/01/09/army-to-field-israeli-made-long-range-missile-on-helicopters |url-status=live |archive-url=https://archive.today/20240211134514/https://www.defensenews.com/land/2020/01/09/army-to-field-israeli-made-long-range-missile-on-helicopters/ |archive-date=11 February 2024 |access-date=11 February 2024 |website=Defense News}} A test was conducted in March 2021 where an AH-64E fired a Spike NLOS at a target {{convert|32|km|abbr=on}} away and scored a direct hit.{{Cite web |title=US Army completes demonstration of AH-64E helicopter equipped with SPIKE NLOS missiles |url=https://airrecognition.com/index.php/news/defense-aviation-news/2021/march/7074-us-army-completes-demonstration-of-ah-64e-helicopter-equipped-with-spike-nlos-missiles.html |url-status=live |archive-url=https://archive.today/20240211134728/https://airrecognition.com/index.php/news/defense-aviation-news/2021/march/7074-us-army-completes-demonstration-of-ah-64e-helicopter-equipped-with-spike-nlos-missiles.html |archive-date=11 February 2024 |access-date=11 February 2024 |website=Air Recognition}}

In June 2022, Rafael unveiled the Spike NLOS 6th generation with range increased to {{convert|50|km}}, a salvo feature which can launch up to four missiles at a time, and the ability to hand over control after firing to another platform.

It was to introduce new flight modes to enable precision strikes in urban areas, such as flying through windows or attacking an enemy hidden behind defilade or obstacles using non-line-of-sight engagement. Mini Spike would use the same launcher and sight system of the Spike LR, loading the missile on a special adaptor.{{cite web|url=http://defense-update.com/features/2010/december/infantry_missiles_eo_sal.html|title=Combining EO/Laser Guidance for Small Precision Guided Weapons|date=December 2010|publisher=Defense-Update.Com|access-date=26 August 2011|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110117115137/http://defense-update.com/features/2010/december/infantry_missiles_eo_sal.html|archive-date=17 January 2011|url-status=dead}} By 2016, Mini Spike development had been discontinued.

== Aerospike ==

In May 2022, Rafael unveiled the Aerospike, a version of the Spike LR2 designed to be launched from fixed-wing aircraft. Weighing 14 kg and utilizing the same airframe, EO/IR seekers and warheads as the Spike LR2, it features longer wings to give it an improved glide ratio for a range of {{convert|30|km|abbr=on}} when launched from {{convert|27000|ft|order=flip}}. The munition does not require GPS to navigate, incorporating scene-matching technology and detection and tracking capabilities. A real-time RF data-link allows for man-in-the-loop operation enabling mid-flight target handover, re-targeting and abort options while also controlling approach angle, azimuth and flight trajectory, achieving accuracy within 3 meters of the target with a HEAT or blast fragmentation warhead. By the time of public announcement, the Aerospike was already in service with unnamed users.{{Cite web |last=Frantzman |first=Seth |date=17 May 2022 |title=Rafael unveils Aerospike missile for close-air support |url=https://www.defensenews.com/smr/sofic/2022/05/17/rafael-unveils-aerospike-missile-for-close-air-support/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://archive.today/20220614123454/https://www.defensenews.com/smr/sofic/2022/05/17/rafael-unveils-aerospike-missile-for-close-air-support/ |archive-date=14 June 2022 |access-date=11 February 2024 |website=Defense News |language=en}}{{Cite web |title=Rafael unveils AeroSpike Stand-Off Precision Guided Missile |url=https://www.airrecognition.com/index.php/news/defense-aviation-news/2022-news-aviation-aerospace/may/8390-rafael-unveils-aerospike-stand-off-precision-guided-missile.html |url-status=live |archive-url=https://archive.today/20240211135424/https://www.airrecognition.com/index.php/news/defense-aviation-news/2022-news-aviation-aerospace/may/8390-rafael-unveils-aerospike-stand-off-precision-guided-missile.html |archive-date=11 February 2024 |access-date=11 February 2024 |website=Air Recognition}}{{Cite web |last=Easly |first=Mikayla |date=17 May 2022 |title=Rafael Introduces New Air-To-Surface Missile |url=https://www.nationaldefensemagazine.org/articles/2022/5/17/rafael-introduces-new-air-to-surface-missile |url-status=live |archive-url=https://archive.today/20240211135630/https://www.nationaldefensemagazine.org/articles/2022/5/17/rafael-introduces-new-air-to-surface-missile |archive-date=11 February 2024 |access-date=11 February 2024 |website=National Defense Magazine |language=en}}
