Lockheed Martin has been awarded a $30 million contract by the US Army to continue development of its Spike Non-Line-of-Sight (NLOS) missile system as part of Phase 2 of the Mobile-Long Range Precision Strike Missile (M-LRPSM) program. Following a successful Phase 1 demo in August 2025 showcasing the missile’s ability to accurately hit long-range, obscured targets, Lockheed Martin will now integrate the Spike NLOS system onto an Infantry Utility Vehicle for rigorous safety and field performance testing across various environments. Used by several allied forces, the Spike NLOS missile supports precision strikes beyond the visible line of sight and has undergone tests with multiple US Army Combat Aviation Brigades including those in the Middle East, Poland, and at Yuma Proving Ground. The M-LRPSM initiative aims to arm mobile brigade combat teams with long-range, precision-strike missiles capable of engaging both moving and stationary threats. It focuses on compact, vehicle-mounted launchers operable in challenging tactical situations, providing ground units with capabilities traditionally held by larger artillery units. This development will complement ongoing modernization efforts such as the Precision Strike Missile and Typhon Mid-Range technology, broadening tactical options for the US Army’s combat forces.
