During
Euronaval 2014, which is held at Le Bourget near Paris, Rafael displays
the Typhoon MLS-ER Naval Missile System. The system includes Spike-ER
missiles, launchers, an Electro Optical director and a fire control
system. |
The
light-weight, stabilized system can be installed on a variety of platforms,
ranging from Rigid Hull Inflated Boats (RHIBs) to larger boats and ships.
Spike ER is an electro-optically guided multipurpose missile for ranges
of up to 8km with pinpoint accuracy.
Typhoon MLS-ER features day and night operation and includes Fire-and-Forget,
as well as Fire-and-Observe and Update modes of operation. This enables
the gunner to switch between targets after launch, avoid friendly fire,
conduct surveillance/damage assessment and attack hidden targets. Additionally,
the Typhoon MLS-ER features a Fire and Steer mode, in which the gunner
can launch the missile without pre-locking onto the target and manually
steer it to the target.
Typhoon MLS-ER includes day and night surveillance and tracking cameras
for independent weapon system operation.
Typhoon MLS-ER draws on the battle proven, reliable assets of the Spike
Family Missiles and particularly the ER Missile, to provide maximum
operational flexibility with minimal life-cycle cost. |
