OVERVIEW: The SPICE 250 is a lightweight, stand-off, air-to-surface guided munition with a 75 kg-class warhead and dual GPS/EO guidance, capable of striking targets up to 100 km away with high precision. It enables high-load carriage and autonomous targeting for modern multirole aircraft.

DETAILS: The SPICE 250 is a fully integrated weapon (not a guidance kit) with fold-out wings and cruciform tail fins, ensuring maneuverability and extended range. It uses GPS/INS for mid-course guidance and EO/IR scene-matching with ATA/ATR for terminal homing, achieving CEP <3 meters. A two-way datalink allows in-flight target updates and mission aborts. Multiple SPICE 250s can be deployed via Smart Quad Rack (SQR), enabling 16 on an F-16 or 28 on an F-15. The ER variant adds a micro turbojet engine, pushing range beyond 150 km.
