Lockheed Martin Demos Integration of Spike NLOS on Apache
The Precision Strike team recently fired two Spike NLOS all up rounds (AURs) from the Apache Echo Model V6, at Yuma Proving Ground in Arizona. The successful live fire event verifies the Spike NLOS Long Range Precision Munitions Directed Requirement (LRPM DR) system’s integration onto the Apache platform and allows it to enter qualification testing.
The demonstration featured two Spike NLOS AURs firing from an Apache platform at a stationary target in two separate scenarios. The Spike NLOS system will begin testing to qualify the design for airworthiness release (AWR).
Once AWR is awarded, the system will be fielded on the U.S. Army’s Apache Echo Model V6 platforms by September 2024.
“The successful integration of Spike NLOS on the Apache platform demonstrates Lockheed Martin’s continued commitment to 21st century security solutions that help our customers complete their missions,” says Tom Bargnesi, programme management senior manager of the Precision Strike team at Lockheed Martin Missiles and Fire Control. “The system’s expansion onto additional platforms, along with its mission-focused defence capabilities, ensures it will help the U.S. Army stay ready in an ever-evolving threat environment.” .
