SPICE 1000
An Israeli-designed ‘bolt-on’ guidance kit made by Rafael Advanced Defense Systems which converts 1,000-pound air-delivered bombs, such as the American MK 83, into precision guided munitions. It uses deployable wings, giving the munition a ‘gliding’ attack trajectory and a maximum effective range of 125 km from release point. The SPICE-1000 employs electro-optical guidance to inform a scene-matching algorithm that controls guidance, and can typically strike within 3 meters of a desired target. The munition has seen widespread use by the Israeli Air Force in Gaza, Lebanon, Syria, and Yemen in recent years, and is also in service with the Indian and Greek air forces.
