Problem je zahvat tom IC GSN koja radi u talasnom pojasu 3-5µ jer na talasnoj dužini se zračenje prenosi najbolje preko H2O, pa ista odvuče toplotu od cilja u tom pojasu.
Kod novijih se koriste nove matrice i taj problem nije prisutan, ali Javelin i Spike su imali senzore stare generacije. Tek na ovim najnovijim Spike je primenjen senzor HCT.
Europe a Fertile Ground for Spike Missile Orders Citat:The SPIKE anti-armor weapons is one of Rafael Advanced Defense Systems‘ most successful missile programs. Over 30,000 missiles are on order from 32 customers.
The IDF (Israel Defense Forces) is the largest single customer for the SPIKE, providing a steady flow of production contracts – a flow stronger than once thought possible. Still, exports are playing an important role in maintaining production.
Europe is proving fertile ground for SPIKE orders. Rafael has won contracts for the SPIKE from Finland, the Netherlands, Poland, Spain, and Germany. Latvia is a recent addition to this list, along with Croatia and Estonia.
Altogether, Rafael could deliver more than 8,000 missiles to European customers if contracts appear as anticipated. This success is due in part to the disarray within Europe’s own anti-armor missile design programs, as well as reluctance by certain continental powers to procure U.S.-built weapons. Opportunities exist for further sales.
