Lockheed Martin, in collaboration with the U.S. Army, has achieved a significant milestone by successfully firing eight Spike NLOS All Up Rounds (AURs) from the U.S. Apache Echo Model V6 attack helicopter at the Yuma Proving Ground in Arizona.
This live fire event marks the clearance of the Spike NLOS Long Range Precision Munitions Directed Requirement (LRPM DR) system for Airworthiness Release (AWR) for the U.S. Apache platform, allowing integration onto the U.S. Army’s current Apache V6 platforms.
Tom Bargnesi, program management senior manager of the Precision Strike team at Lockheed Martin Missiles and Fire Control, highlighted the readiness of the Spike NLOS for integration onto the Army’s Apache fleet, emphasizing its pivotal role in delivering precise defense capabilities.
