Rafael has already performed with Sky Spear at the Paris Air Show (-> to the highlights), a new 6th generation air-to-air missile with a long range and a new type of RF seeker.
According to Rafael, the new system is “designed to engage targets at long ranges” and is intended to ensure that enemies “can be engaged effectively” before they have a chance to shoot themselves down. The new RF seeker will enable “earlier target detection”.
Brigadier General (Ret.) Pini Yungman, EVP and Head of the Air and Missile Defense Directorate at Rafael: “Rafael’s first air-to-air missile was developed in 1959, and as Sky Spear shows, we have maintained our technological edge five generations later. We offer our partners and customers a unique and modern air defense solution and are confident that we can offer users a qualitative advantage over other systems.”
