NT Spike

摘要

Israel's NT Spike is a family of related antitank missiles sharing common sub-systems that was first unveiled in 1997. The family consists of the Spike MR (formerly NT-G Gill) man-portable ATGM, the Spike LR (formerly NT-S Spike) medium range ATGM, the Spike ER (formerly NT-D Dandy) helicopter launched ATGM, and the long-range Spike-NLOS. The missiles use common seeker technology. The Spike MR and LR are essentially the same, except that the Spike LR has a secondary fiber optic guidance option which enables it to be used against targets out to 4 km. The Spike ER also has a secondary fiber-optic guidance channel which allows for a "fire-and-correct" guidance capability. In 2009, Rafael announced the new Spike NLOS version which uses a substantially larger fuselage and engine to push its range out to 25 km. Rafael has also debuted a very small version called Mini-Spike in 2012.
