Lockheed Details First Spike NLOS Shots From ISV-U For Army’s M-LRPSM Program

Lockheed Martin completed the first 17 Spike Non-Line-of-Sight missile firings from the Infantry Squad Vehicle Utility configuration during a three-day demonstration at Dugway Proving Ground, Utah. The activity supported the US Army's Mobile Long-Range Precision-Strike Missile program and involved infantry soldiers operating the lightweight vehicle-mounted launcher for most of the shots. Spike NLOS is an electro-optically guided precision missile designed to engage targets beyond the launch crew's direct line of sight. The firing series provided hands-on data about integration, soldier operation and mobile precision strike; it was a technology demonstration rather than an Army-wide fielding decision.
