Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) and IMI Systems have unveiled a jointly-developed supersonic, long-range air-to-ground missile named Rampage.

Developed as a stand-off weapon, the Rampage boasts a warhead, rocket engine and advanced navigation suite which allow precision striking of high-quality, well-protected targets.

According to the companies, the Rampage features optimal penetration capability into protected areas, and its focal precision prevents collateral damage. The new missile can be used against a variety of targets, including communication and command centers, air forces bases, maintenance centers, infrastructures and valuable field targets protected by air defense systems.

The Rampage can operate in any weather conditions, both day and night. It offers simplified operation, with no need for a “man in the loop” and can be carried on a broad range of aircraft. The total weight of the missile is 570 kg, and it is 4.7 meters long.

Boaz Levy, general manager and executive VP of IAI’s Rockets and Space Group, said, “We believe in the Rampage since it is an important product that fulfills a true operational need in a very efficient way. IMI and IAI have invested a great deal of thought in developing this product that reflects the extensive technological know-how and experience of both companies with a price tag, which is attractive and relevant for the global market.”

Eli Reiter, manager of IMI Systems’ Firepower Division, said, “IMI Systems and IAI are proud to unveil a response to the challenges of modern battlefields. The Rampage joins a family of accurate rockets, which we have been providing to advanced militaries for years. Rampage complements the air response with a quantum leap in performance and extraordinary cost-effectiveness ratio, two factors which are important to many air forces around the world.”

IMS, IAI develop missile undetected by enemy
Two of Israel's big military industries have developed a new air-to-surface missile designed to be launched merely 150 km from the target, making the missile undetectable by the enemy's forces; the IAF is likely to purchase the missile to improve its surgical high-precision strikes with minimum collateral damage.

The "Rampage" missile is designed to be launched from a fighter jet 150 km away from the target, meaning it will not be detected by the enemy's detection and interception systems.

However, the IMS and the IAI say that in light of the new ability developed—launching the missile up to 150 km from the target—the ratio between the accuracy and the effectiveness of the strike and the missile's large distance from the fighter jet is its most significant advantage.

The IAI's Missiles and Aerospace Division's manager, Boaz Levi, told Ynet that the missile's cost is about one third of the cost of similar missiles being sold across the world.

The Rampage already has a potential buyer, however the IAI did not reveal its identity.

The missile will be adjusted to all offense platforms including the IAF's F-15, F-16 and F-35 fighter jets and will be used against anti-aircraft batteries, enemy's headquarters, armament storages, and logistic bases among others.

The missile's warhead will be guided by a GPS system, which will allow him to strike during the day as well as the night and in any weather conditions including fog and cloudiness.

The GPS system's Achilles' heel is that it can be relatively easily disrupted. Therefore, the missile's developers added an additional algorithm-based navigation system as backup that will give the missile immunity.

The missile will have two kinds of warheads, with the first one designed for penetrating armor protected targets such as bunkers and those immune to shrapnel damage.

IMI's Fire Power Division's Manager Eli Reiter said, "Sending four fighter jets carrying four Rampage missiles allows us to strike under conditions we've never had before."

The IAF's need of precision strikes has grown over the past few years, an example of that is the strike against bases and weapon storages in Syria, for which the IDF has assumed responsibility a month ago.

Syria's army launched hundreds of anti-aircraft missiles as retaliation to the IDF's multiple strikes. At the beginning of 2018, a Syrian missile shot down an IAF's f-16 fighter jet in the Upper Galilee.

The IAF attacked two weeks ago more than 50 terror targets in Gaza—the most populated area in the world—while implementing the maximum-precision technique resulting in no casualties during the strike.

IMI's Reiter explained that during the two past decades there has been a tendency to decrease the fighter jets' artillery weight in order to make the strikes as accurate as possible and diminish possible collateral damage all across the world.

what is the speed and how many kg
explosive in it? 150 km isnt long range

Missiles are getting longer and longer ranged. Su-57 shoots Kh-59MK2 that has like 600 km range able to hit anywhere in Syria without even like taking off. Crazy stuff.

its cruise missle we have popaye 1500 km cruise missle lunch from submerine and lora 400 km

its cruise missle we have popaye 1500 km cruise missle lunch from submerine and lora 400 km

Still falls short of Kh-101 which is said to have like 5000 km range.
