SPYDER™ FAMILY
Short-to-Long Range Mobile, Quick Reaction Air Defense Systems
View Solutions
The SPYDER™ family of Short/Extended /Medium/Long Range Mobile Air Defense Systems (ADS) defend large areas, as well as maneuvering forces, against a wide spectrum of threats, such as attack aircraft, helicopters, bombers, cruise missiles, UAVs and stand-off weapons. The SPYDER systems are operational and combat-proven
The Challenge
Secure valuable assets and mobile forces located in the combat area against a wide range of threats, enabling a quick response and handling a wide spectrum of threats and multiple targets simultaneously.
The defense of valuable assets and mobile forces in the combat area requires a quick response with effective simultaneous handling of a wide spectrum of multiple targets.
The SPYDER systems defend large areas against a wide spectrum of threats. System components and interceptors can be flexibly combined, affording different configurations with various ranges and capabilities. All the SPYDER™ systems have multiple target engagement capability for dealing with saturation attacks.
The Solution
The SPYDER systems incorporate the most advanced air-to-air-missiles with proven performance: the PYTHON-5™ dual waveband IIR missile, the I-DERBY™ active radar BVR, and the I-DERBY ER™ long-range missile.
The missiles can also be used for air-to-air missions.
The SPYDER family has autonomous capabilities, detecting threats while on-the-move and firing
instantly after halt.
SPYDER systems enable a 360° launch within seconds of the target being declared hostile, and provide all-weather, multi-launch, and net-centric capabilities.
SPYDER’s open architecture design enables the integration of external components (such as radars) and cooperation with selected local industry.
Benefits
- Operational and combat-proven systems
- Mobile quick reaction
- Effective against large threat set
- Open architecture and reconfigurable
- Commonality with air-to-air missiles
- Cyber hardened
- Search-on-the-move, fire-on-halt
Capabilities
The SPYDER-SR™ and SPYDER-ER™ 360° slant launching missile systems provide quick reaction, lock-on-before-launch (LOBL) and lock-on-after launch (LOAL) capabilities, while extending the range of defense to up to a 40 km radius.
SPYDER-MR™ and SPYDER-LR™ offer medium & long range target interception through vertical launch while pushing the defense envelope up to an 80 km radius.
Both systems enable a 360° launch within seconds of the target being declared hostile ‒ and provide all-weather, multi-launch, and net-centric capabilities.
The SPYDER systems have advanced ECCM capabilities and use electro-optical observation payloads as well as wireless data link communication.
