The RAFAEL Spike Non-Line-Of-Sight (NLOS) electro-optical missile system was demonstrated by the US Army aboard an AH-64E Apache Guardian attack helicopter.
The demonstration took place at Eglin Air Force Base (AFB) in Florida in February, as reported by janes.com.
Spike NLOS is a multi-purpose, electro-optical missile system with a real-time wireless data link for ranges up to 25km. The Spike NLOS weapon system provides the gunner with the unique ability to attack targets at stand-off range with no line of sight. The system can be operated in either direct attack or mid-course navigation based on target coordinates only.
The system can be installed on a variety of air, land and naval platforms.
