SPYDER

SPYDER

The SPYDER (Surface-to-air PYthon and DERby) is an anti-aircraft missile system developed by RAFAEL and uses surface-to-air versions of the Python 5 and Derby missiles, also made by RAFAEL.It is a quick reaction medium range missile system. SPYDER is capable of engaging aircraft, helicopters, unmanned air vehicles, drones and precision-guided munitions. It provides air defence for fixed assets and for point and area defence for mobile forces in combat areas.

The SPYDER-SR system has 360° engagement capability and the missiles can be launched from the full-readiness state in less than five seconds from target confirmation. The kill range is from less than 1km to more than 15km and at altitudes from a minimum of 20m to a maximum of 9,000m. The system is capable of multi-target simultaneous engagement and also single, multiple and ripple firing, by day and night and in all weathers.

The Command and Control Unit is developed by Israel Aerospace Industries. It is housed in a truck-mounted shelter with a mounted Elta EL/M2106 ATAR radar, information friend or foe (IFF) interrogator and communication equipment. The VHF/UHF communication system is for internal squadron communication and to upper tier command. The Elta EL/M 2106 ATAR 3D surveillance radar can simultaneously track up to 60 targets. The radar has 360° operation and all-weather day and night capability. The radar includes advanced electronic counter countermeasures (ECCM) for operation in dense hostile electronic warfare environments.
India has planned the acquisition of 18 systems at a cost of $415 Million (Rs. 1800 crore) for its air force, but the deal is to be reviewed by the Central Vigilance Commission, the government’s anti-corruption agency.
