Rafael’s combat-proven SPYDER air defense system is now enhanced with a sophisticated Counter-TBM (tactical ballistic missiles) capability.
The introduction of this feature is the product of Rafael’s Counter-TBM SPYDER program, which involved researching and analyzing the lessons learned from recent and ongoing armed conflicts involving extensive use of tactical ballistic missiles.
The program has brought about a practical upgrade to the SPYDER system which is equipped for implementation. In response to urgent operational requests from several existing customers throughout the world, the program will extend the capabilities of the SPYDER's effectors as well as the implementation of various Counter-TBM derivatives across the system.
“This extremely important Counter-TBM feature will be offered as an option in the SPYDER's toolbox,” said Executive Vice President and General Manager Air & Missile Defense Systems Division, Brig. Gen. (Res.) Pinhas Yungman. “Under the SPYDER's tailor-made solution paradigm this capability will be offered as a cost-effective option to our valuable customers with respective urgent operational needs."
The SPYDER Air Defense System is the only Israeli-made air defense system that has been incorporated into the aerial defense array of NATO. SPYDER is a quick reaction, low-level surface-to-air missile system designed to counter attacks by aircraft, helicopters, UAVs, and precision-guided munitions. The system provides effective protection of valuable assets and first-class defense for forces located in the combat area.
