Rafael has offered the advanced SPIKE LR 2 to the Australian Army as part of the LAND 400 Phase 2 Combat Reconnaissance Vehicles (CRV) program.

Rafael’s offer to Australia includes a comprehensive in-country production and a through life support program, being developed in partnership with Varley Group, one of Australia’s oldest engineering and manufacturing companies, with facilities throughout Australia.
