Citing information published by the International press agency Reuters, in the middle of the summer, Israel approved a request from the United Arab Emirates (UAE) to acquire the Israeli-made Spyder air defense missile system developed by Rafael Advanced Defense Systems in collaboration with the Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI).
The Spyder is a family of short-to-long-range mobile air defense systems which is designed to counter aerial threats such as fighter aircraft, helicopters, bombers, cruise missiles, UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Systems), and stand-off weapons.
The Spyder-SR (Short-Range) and Spyder-ER (Extended-range) us the most advanced combat-proven air-to-air missiles including the Python 5 fitted with dual-band imaging Infrared (IIr) and CCD Seeker, the I-Derby equipped with active radar seeker, and the I-Derby ER with a 2-pulse rocket motor for longer ranges.
The Spyder-MR (Medium Range) and Spyder-LR (Long-Range) use the same missiles as the Spyder-SR/ER, plus an additional booster assembly. All these missiles can also be used for air-to-air missions.
A Spyder-SR battery includes the command post, four launcher vehicles, and transport and ammunition supply vehicles. The launcher vehicle is able to carry up to four Derby and Phyton-5 anti-aircraft missiles in various configurations. the missile of the Spyder-SR has a firing range from 1 to 15 km.
The command post vehicle of the Spyder-SR battery is equipped with a three-axis Elta EL/M-2106NG ATAR 3D detection radar able to detect and track up to 60 aerial targets at a range of up to 60 km.
The Spyder-SR and Spyder-Er have a 360° slant launching that provides low-level quick-reaction, Lock-On-Before Launch (LOBL) and Lock-On-after (LOAL) capabilities.
A Spyder-MR battery includes the command post, MF-STAR detection radar, six launcher vehicles, and transport and ammunition supply vehicles. The Spyder-ER missile has a firing range from 1 to 50 km.
The MF-STAR radar developed by the Elta division of IAI allows to detect and track up to 60 targets at a range of up to 100 km.
The Spyder-MR and Spyder-LR offer medium and long-range target interceptions through a near vertical launch. Both systems enable 3650° launch within seconds after the target is declared hostile, and provide all-weather, multi-launch, netcentric capabilities.
