Philippine Navy demos Spike NLOS missile system
The Philippine Navy successfully conducted a live-fire demonstration of the Spike Non-Line of Sight (NLOS) missile system aboard its newly acquired BRP Albert Majini off Mariveles, Bataan on April 23.
During MISSILEX 2025, the vessel launched two types of missiles-a fragmentation and a penetration blast-fragmentation (PBF) missile, both hitting their targets accurately from a distance of about 24 kilometers.
The PN also showcased tactical coordination with another ship, BRP Tomas Campo, demonstrating precise close-range firepower using a 30mm Typhoon gun and two .50 caliber Mini-Typhoon machine guns.
Developed by Israel's Rafael Advanced Defense Systems, the Spike NLOS missile system offers advanced electro-optical and infrared sensors for day and night operations, enhancing naval capabilities with stand-off distances up to 30 kilometers.
This event marks a significant milestone in the Philippine Navy's modernization efforts, highlighting improved operational readiness and defensive capabilities.
