L-SPIKE 1X tactical weapon system is a revolutionary, innovative miniature electro-optical tactical loitering munition designed for light maneuvering ground forces such as Infantry, Marines or Special Forces.
 

L-SPIKE 1X was designed for the dismounted soldier fighting within the urban arena where situation awareness is limited, the enemy is behind cover, and precision is critical. The impact of L-SPIKE 1X on the Infantry is revolutionary, fundamentally changing small Infantry tactics.
 

L-SPIKE 1X – is a new variant of Rafael’s SPIKE Family Precision Guided Missiles. As such, L-SPIKE 1X features a dual seeker, target tracker, homing algorithms, computer vision, Safe & Arm fusing mechanisms, and HMI (Human-Machine Interface). These features served as a basis for the development of L-SPIKE 1X and the tailoring of the weapon system to its unique mission profile of urban combat.
 

L-SPIKE 1X weighs only 3kg, is rapidly deployed, and enables the attack of Beyond Line of Sight (BLOS) targets commonly found in urban combat. L-SPIKE 1X will essentially eliminate the value of cover and with it, the necessity of long-drawn-out firefights. It will also make obsolete the old infantry tactic of firing and maneuvering to eliminate an enemy hiding behind cover.
