NAVAIR Spike
The Spike is a small missile developed by the Naval Air Warfare Center Weapons Division (NAWCWD), NAVAIR's Weapons Division.
==Background==
The Spike was developed in response to operational needs encountered during operations against asymmetric opponents. Guided missiles like the AGM-114 Hellfire fired from aircraft and FGM-148 Javelin used by infantry have disadvantages when used against insurgents in urban areas. They are both cost prohibitive at around $100,000 per missile, designed to be used against slow-moving heavily armored vehicles like tanks, while during the Iraq War they were employed against personnel and fast-moving unarmored vehicles. Also, because they are made to destroy heavy vehicles, they use large warheads that could inflict unnecessary collateral damage. The Spike was made to provide infantry with a shoulder-fired guided fire-and-forget missile system lighter and cheaper than the Javelin and produce light and more numerous weapons for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) to carry.〔(Smaller, Lighter, Cheaper ) - Defensenews.com, 31 May 2010〕〔(U.S. Navy Develops EO Guided Spike ) - Defense-Update.com, 31 December 2010〕〔(SPIKE Shoulder-Launched Fire-and-Forget Guided Missile Kills Fast-Moving Threats ) - Defensereview.com, 19 June 2006〕〔(Navy develops 'world's smallest guided missile' ) - Navytimes.com, 23 February 2014〕〔(More Killer Drone Bangs For The Buck ) - Wired.com, 9 October 2008〕
