Rafael Advanced Defense Systems and Lockheed Martin have begun integrating the 1,000-pound SPICE 1000 air-to-surface munition on Israel’s F-35I Adir. The electro-optically guided weapon has a range exceeding 120 kilometers and is designed to operate in jammed and GPS-denied environments, with potential implications for other F-35 operators.

Briefing

What Hype is tracking

  • The integration adds a 120-kilometer-plus stand-off strike capability to Israel’s F-35I fleet, reducing the need to release weapons near defended targets.
  • SPICE 1000’s electro-optical guidance is designed to maintain effectiveness in jammed and GPS-denied environments, addressing a central requirement for modern precision strike operations.
  • Rafael and Lockheed Martin say the Israeli integration could support future fielding of the munition by other F-35 operators.
