RESTON, Va., Sept. 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Rafael Systems Global Sustainment, LLC (RSGS) one of RAFAEL U.S based subsidiaries announced that it has been awarded an agreement through the Aviation & Missile Technology Consortium (AMTC) for the U.S qualification of the SPIKE SR, Shoulder Launched EO Guided Missile System to support U.S military requirements.
Under the agreement, RSGS and Rafael Advanced Defense Systems will support the U.S. qualification of the SPIKE SR and further development of advanced capabilities, enhancing a lightweight, man-portable precision missile capability for U.S. military applications. The effort will include adaptation, integration, and testing of tailored capabilities for the U.S Warfighter to expand the SPIKE SR capabilities in alignment with U.S. requirements.
SPIKE-SR is part of the world renown SPIKE Family of missiles currently in use with 46 other countries including 22 NATO member countries.
SPIKE SR is a shoulder-fired, fire-and-forget precision missile system designed to provide dismounted forces with organic lethality, rapid target engagement, and enhanced operational flexibility. The system's compact form factors, ease of employment, and precision effects make it well suited for small-unit formations operating in complex and contested environments.
"This award represents an important step in advancing the SPIKE SR capability for U.S. warfighters," said LTG (Ret.) Joe Anderson, CEO of RSGS. "RSGS is proud to support the U.S. defense community by enhancing a proven, highly mobile precision missile system that addresses the operational needs of today's close-combat forces."
This effort builds on the significant operational heritage of the SPIKE family of missiles while supporting specific U.S Warfighter requirements to deliver lethal and qualified precision strike to the maneuvering force.
"SPIKE SR offers the type of lightweight, accurate, and soldier-portable capability that modern forces require," Anderson added. "This effort reinforces RSGS' commitment to delivering combat-proven technologies adapted to meet U.S. requirements."
