Spice
Conceptually , scene-matching technology
is new relative to GPS systems which can
be jammed.The Spice add-on kit for air-
to-surface weapons brings this to the
fore.
In order to provide infantry
and special forces with a
unique weapon system that has
particular application to urban
warfare, Rafael has developed the
FireFly, part of the Spike family.
Weighing just 3kg,
FireFly is a
loitering munition that launches
vertically and can be controlled
intuitively from a ruggedised
tablet.
The munition can be launched
rapidly by a single soldier and
directed to its target area. It has
two sensors and target-tracking
capability. A two-way datalink
transmits control inputs, and
also allows the weapon to be
safely recovered to the operator.
A standard weapon system
comprises three of the munitions
and the control unit.
