Three-Year Contract to Support International Operators

Rafael Advanced Defense Systems has contracted Bagira Systems to provide the mission trainer simulator for its Spike missile family.

The three-year contract covers production and supply of a simulation package integrated with the original weapon system components, and will be fielded internationally by several Spike operators. The simulation provides realistic training with a focus on replicating missile behaviour, flight characteristics, battlespace environmental simulation, and the use of the original weapon system. The new simulator can be integrated with other simulation systems, to conduct exercises in the same virtual battlespace, with the addition of joint-fires and infantry simulators and/or tactical engagement simulator systems (TESS).

This contract with Rafael is based on the successful delivery of the SPIKE training system by Bagira and Rafael to the IDF as part of the Joint-Fires Mission Trainers and the WARTAC (Warrior Readiness Training Centre) project.
