The Philippine Navy has successfully tested its first missile system in the vicinity of Lamao Point, Bataan on August 9. The Spike-ER missile system was tested onboard a multi-purpose attack craft (MPAC) and accurately hit the designated target at approximately six kilometers away.
“The target was hit dead center even if the sea state condition was moderately rough with a wave of at least one meter high but within the normal firing conditions of the missile,” said Navy public affairs chief Commander Jonathan Zata.
The Rafael-made Spike ER missiles were delivered to the Philippines last April. The missiles have a range of eight kilometers and will be installed in three attack crafts.
The round of tests conducted in Bataan included sea acceptance tests (SAT) for the Mini Typhoon Machine Gun Systems and the Spike-Extended Range Missile Launching System.
