Israeli-made Long-Range Missile Are Coming On Us Army Helicopters September 23, 2020 Unipro2013main Military Helicopters </p> <h2>Long-range Precision Munition on Attack Helicopters</h2> <p> The U.S. Army has decided to field an Israeli-made, long-range precision munition on attack helicopters as an interim solution to get after greater stand-off and long-range engagements.<br /> <br /> An Army Requirements Oversight Council decision has authorized the service to field a certain number of Rafael’s Spike Non-Line-of-Sight (NLOS) missiles ahead of a bigger decision on a plan for acquiring long-range precision munitions for the service’s current and future aviation fleets, Brig. Gen. Wally Rugen, who is in charge of Army aviation modernization, said at a Bell demonstration of its V-280 Valor tiltrotor helicopter on Jan. 8.<br /> <br /> That bigger decision has yet to go before the AROC, Rugen said, but after successful tests of the Spike system in 2019, the Army is moving forward to address a much-desired capability, particularly when considering how the service will fight in the future where greater stand-off to go up against enemy targets is paramount to successful operations.<br /> </p> <p>Credit to : Warthog Defense</p> <p> Please support our Sponsors here :
