US infantry fire Spike NLOS from light vehicle in Army test
U.S. Army infantry soldiers fired Spike Non-Line-of-Sight missiles from the utility variant of the Infantry Squad Vehicle during a three-day demonstration at Dugway Proving Ground in Utah. Lockheed Martin said the team fired 17 rounds against simulated operational targets at different ranges, with soldiers conducting most of the launches. The test evaluated integration of the missile and launcher on a light vehicle intended for the Army’s Mobile Brigade Combat Teams. The Army will use firing data and soldier feedback to refine its Mobile Long-Range Precision Strike Missile requirement.
