Spice 250 glide bomb fitted to Israeli fighters

摘要

Israel is equipping its air force fighter fleet with Rafael's Spice 250 glide bomb, with the company having disclosed partial details of the new system. Unlike previous members of the company's Spice family of weapons, which added precision guidance kits to 2,000lb (900kg) and 1,000lb "dumb" bombs, Rafael is this time supplying a complete system, weighing 113kg. Rafael says the Spice 250 can be loaded with 100 optional targets in a given area, with scene-matching algorithms. As with its previous products, the weapon navigates to a target area using INS/GPS guidance, before its electro-optical/imaging infrared sensor is engaged.
