Overview

• The U.S. Army selected Lockheed Martin’s Spike NLOS for the first phase of the Mobile‑Long Range Precision Strike Missile competition to prototype a system for Infantry Brigade Combat Teams.
• The 12th Combat Aviation Brigade fired two Spike NLOS missiles from an AH‑64Ev6 Apache over Poland’s northern coast, hitting sea targets at up to 25 kilometers in the system’s first U.S. Army employment in Europe.
• A separate Dugway Proving Grounds demo featured three ground‑launched shots with direct hits, including against obstructed targets, validating non‑line‑of‑sight engagement from a vehicle.
• Army descriptions say the requirement targets stationary and defilade armored troops, field fortifications and urban structures at ranges beyond 25 kilometers, with Spike NLOS already qualified on the AH‑64E and integrated on a JLTV for USSOCOM.
• Phase two will conduct safety confirmation testing and narrow the field, while officials update future‑years cost estimates from an earlier roughly $93 million plan based on vendor pricing.
