https://www.secnav.navy.mil/fmc/fmb/Doc ... C_Book.pdfSpike NLOS is a multi-purpose, electro-optical (EO), Man-in-the-loop (MITL) missile system with a real-time wireless data link for ranges up to 32 km (minimum range of 1 km). It's manufactured by the Israeli company Rafael Advanced Defense Systems and is being delivered to US Special Forces via Lockheed Martin in partnership with Rafael. Spike NLOS is in operational use by USSOCOM, Spain, United Kingdom, South Korea, and Columbia. Spike NLOS or a like capability is a solid candidate to replace our aging Saber/TOW systems and modernize our infantry to meet the requirements identified in the MarineCorps Operating Concept. The Spike NLOS launcher and High Explosive Anti-Tank (HEAT) and Penetrator Blast Fragmentation (PBF) missiles match or exceed the capabilities of the Saber/TOW systemsin range and effects. Such precision fires organic to the infantry would enable small units to achieve greater effects, shorten the kill chain at the tactical edge, counter threats within and outside complex andcompartmentalized terrain, and harness the capabilities of our organic UAS. Capability / Shortfall: MARSOFs require the ability to strike stationary and mobile point targets in real time out to the limits of theirability to positively ID targets with organic ground and airborne ISR (AISR) assets while minimizing collateral damage. Potential target sets include personnel in the open or under light cover, light frame or singlelayer brick buildings, and unarmored or lightly armored vehicles (moving and stationary), to include vehicle-borne improvised explosive devices (VBIED) or high value targets (HVT) moving at speeds up to45mph
Offiziell verwendet das spanische Heer nur die SPIKE LR-DUAL und die SPIKE ER (am Kampfhubschrauber Tigre HAD-E).
