USSOCOM Gets Joint Light Tactical Vehicles with Spike Precision Strike Missile Systems

Lockheed Martin said it delivered the Spike Non-Line-of-Sight (NLOS) missile system on the Oshkosh’s Joint Light Tactical Vehicle (JLTV) to US Special Operations Command (USSOCOM).

This integration demonstrates the versatility of the Spike NLOS weapon system.

“This advanced weapon system’s real-time video imagery allows operators to alter or abort mission while en route to a target, providing users with more options in critical moments,” said Jerry Brode, vice president of Close Combat Systems at Lockheed Martin Missiles and Fire Control.

Spike NLOS is a multi-purpose, electro-optical/infrared missile system. Its advanced rocket motor provides capability to reach ranges up to 32km. Users can integrate Spike NLOS with ground, aviation or maritime platforms – while leveraging its stand-off capability to strike distant or geographically concealed targets without line-of-sight.

Using a Lockheed Martin developed remote launcher, the weapon system can be mounted directly onto almost any vehicle with a standard palletized interface in less than 20 minutes, without any vehicle modifications.
