A multi-purpose, electro-optical/infrared missile system, Spike NLOS can hit targets located up to 32km away.

The system can be integrated with an array of ground, aviation, or maritime platforms. It can be mounted onto any vehicle with a standard palletised interface using a Lockheed Martin developed remote launcher.

The US and six other international countries currently use this combat-proven precision strike system.

Lockheed Martin Missiles and Fire Control Close Combat Systems vice-president Jerry Brode said: “The combination of Spike NLOS’s long-range and precision-strike capabilities, with the JLTV’s superior agility, will result in next-level mobility and mission effectiveness for our operators.
