The Whiskey Project press release
The concept combines the cutting-edge Whiskey Bravo vessel with Rafael’s combat-proven Spike NLOS electro-optic guided missile system, creating the Whiskey Bravo – Strike variant which was unveiled at Indo Pacific 2023 today.
Whiskey Bravo -Strike is a small combatant watercraft capable of offensive fires and precision strike
missions at sea and in the littoral against a variety of maritime and land targets, yet be readily
deployable and cost-effective.
The 11.9m Whiskey Bravo vessel is able to accommodate twin four-round Spike NLOS canister
launchers on the rear cargo deck and still have room to carry six fully-equipped operators on shock attenuating seats amidships plus two crew seated forward at the console.
Spike NLOS is in service in the United States, United Kingdom, Israel and South Korea. The new 6th generation Spike NLOS is capable of engaging targets out to 32km when surface-launched, affording the launch vessel a safe stand-off range well outside ship self-defence weapon systems or land-based defensive weapons.
The Whiskey Bravo – Strike variant armed with Spike NLOS is on display for the rest of the week at Indo Pacific 2023 on stand 1P26.
