Rafael USA has introduced the L-SPIKE 4X Launched Effect, a new addition to the SPIKE family that blends missile-grade speed with loitering endurance for operations in contested environments.
Unlike typical loitering munitions adapted from unmanned aerial systems, the new weapon is purpose-built as a missile, engineered from the ground up with integrated loitering functionality.
It can engage targets up to 40 kilometers (25 miles) away and is compatible with legacy SPIKE NLOS launchers across air, land, and naval platforms.
