DoubleTapper: IDF Mini-Spike Anti-Personnel Guided Weapon

IDF Mini-Spike Anti-Personnel Guided Weapon

Battle tested in Israel, the IDF Mini-Spike Anti-Personnel Guided Weapon missile system is the smallest member of Rafael's electro-optically guided missiles.


Mini-Spike is an anti-personnel precision attack missile, designed for operation at the company and platoon level. The Mini-Spike weighs only about 25lbs.



It comes in the following configuration:
Command and launch unit facilitating target acquisition and wireless control for the missile weight 8.8lbs
Missiles stored in a canister-launcher, weighing 8.8lbs each.


Typically a soldier will carry the CLU and two missiles with other members of the unit carrying spare missiles.

The missile can be fired at targets at ranges of 1,200 meters and can be set to approach the target in a low, medium or high angle of attack, enabling effective engagement of concealed targets.

The CLU can be used stand-alone for observation and target acquisition with various operation modes, including video recording and playback.
