SPEAR-EW maintains the same dimensions as SPEAR, but with an enlarged fuel capacity and the removal of the warhead and seeker to accommodate an electronic warfare payload derived from Leonardo UK's BriteCloud countermeasure. SPEAR-EW is designed loiter in contested airspace and act as either a stand-in jammer or a decoy similar to the ADM-160 MALD.
FGM-148F: Fitted with a multi-purpose warhead (MPWH). Developed as "Spiral 2". Production started in May 2020. [56] [55] FGM-148G: To be developed from project "Spiral 3". Will develop a new launch tube assembly and battery unit, and will replace the current gas-cooled seeker with an uncooled seeker in the guidance section of the missile.
Formation of an EFP warhead. USAF Research Laboratory.. An explosively formed penetrator (EFP), also known as an explosively formed projectile, a self-forging warhead, or a self-forging fragment, is a special type of shaped charge designed to penetrate armor effectively, from a much greater standoff range than standard shaped charges, which are more limited by standoff distance.
ST Engineering's role in the Blue Spear's development includes the design, development and production of major subsystems like the booster motor and warhead. [12] In 2021, IAI and Thales jointly marketed a variant of the Gabriel V/Blue Spear called Sea Serpent to the Royal Navy to replace its ageing Harpoon missile system. At DSEI 2021, IAI ...
Brimstone is a ground or air-launched ground attack missile developed by MBDA UK for the UK's Royal Air Force. [9] It was originally intended for "fire-and-forget" use against mass formations of enemy armour, using a millimetre wave (mmW) active radar homing seeker to ensure accuracy even against moving targets.
A rubber-powered speargun, besides the barrel, has the following parts: A spear (being a steel shaft slightly longer than the stock/barrel of from 6–10 millimetres (0.2–0.4 in) in diameter, which lies on top of the barrel or in a track or groove on the top), and a trigger mechanism to engage the spear (usually in or near a handle or grip at ...
[2] [1] Each round of ammunition comes in its own canister of either 130 or 152 mm diameter. The PDU-215 control panel is a briefcase-like laptop computer with a control panel, holding a small joystick and a flat-panel display , that is connected to the firing unit by a cable, allowing it be used at distances up to 50 metres (160 ft) away.
The 64mm anti-tank missile is located in the rear of the launcher. The missile consists of an explosive warhead, stabilizer wings and a solid fuel rocket. The M80's warhead has the potential to penetrate 300 mm of solid steel at a 90-degree angle. The warhead may be fitted with an impact and piezoelectric blasting mechanism.
