A SPIKE Non-Line of Sight (NLOS) missile is fired from an AH-64 Apache helicopter piloted by an aircrew from the 101st Combat Aviation Brigade on Aug. 27, 2025. This marks the first live shoot of the SPIKE NLOS by a conventional aviation unit in the United States Central Command theater. The SPIKE NLOS provides Apache crews with an extended-range precision strike capability, allowing engagement of targets obscured by terrain or distance. The live fire validates the integration of the system. (U.S. Army video created by Spc. Max Penn)
