Product Information

During this period, a clear difference remained between spears designed to be thrown and those designed to be used in hand-to-hand combat. Meanwhile MBDA UK offered a new missile design utilising existing developments in weapons technologies such as for Brimstone to produce a miniature cruise missile which was then taken forward with an assessment phase contract offered in the 2010s. He joined SPEAR over three years ago and oversees the development, mobilisation, and coordination of all of SPEAR’s frontline services. We would need to go through a more rigorous qualification and certification for a production run, but there are no show-stoppers in there that we can see now that we’ve done the trials fit. In the late period of the Roman Empire, the spear became more often used because of its anti-cavalry capacities as the barbarian invasions were often conducted by people with a developed culture of cavalry in warfare.

Each of these companies contributed the experience gained from fifty years of technological and operational success. The F-35B is not scheduled to carry the SDB-II until 2022 as part of Block 4a software and SPEAR3 will be in the Block 4 software release on the F-35 programme, alongside Meteor, although Meteor will be the highest priority given the UK’s F-35B’s will have Paveway IV as part of its threshold integration.In 2023, MBDA announced that SPEAR 3 would be integrated into ORCHESTRIKE, MBDA's collaborative effector system utilising AI to allow multiple smart munitions to work in concert with one another. The handle is an aluminum shaft with a glass-fiber-filled handle that allows you to swing, thrust and stab without worrying about damaging the spear. The contract also includes further work on the future local area air defence system and on future components of the SPEAR programme. Spear 3 is from the same family of weapons as Brimstone, currently being used by the RAF to combat Daesh in Syria and Iraq, but it packs a bigger punch and has a significantly increased range.

Adding SPEAR-EW to the family alongside our existing SPEAR strike missile demonstrates the principle of introducing complementary variants to the SPEAR family that will add significant capability and force multiplication without the need to repeat the platform integration. The key to this formation was the hoplite, who was equipped with a large, circular, bronze-faced shield ( aspis) and a 210–270cm (7–9ft) spear with an iron head and bronze butt-spike ( doru). You would be surprised at how difficult spear hunting boar can be so it’s important to choose the best hunting spear you can find and practice as much as possible. The EW variant uses the SPEAR body but replaces the warhead and seeker with more fuel and an electronic package derived from the world-leading Britecloud EW decoy.You can protect yourself from people and animals with a spear and many people bring them hiking and camping just for that purpose. The modular approach taken by Brimstone 2 and ASRAAM was also used on SPEAR, MBDA has claimed this would allow SPEAR to be modified to include a booster motor that would allow it to be used in the land attack and counter Fast Inshore Attack Craft (FIAC) role. Tactical spears take an age-old design and improve by making them nearly unbreakable and razor sharp. Consenting to these technologies will allow us to process data such as browsing behaviour or unique IDs on this site. Some people say that a Mao is longer than a Qiang, others say that the main difference is between the stiffness of the shaft, where the Qiang would be flexible and the Mao would be stiff.

In the Han dynasty the Mao and the Ji (戟 Ji can be loosely defined as a halberd) rose to prominence in the military.In 2022, the MoD released the 2021 Equipment Plan, in which it described a delay to the In-Service Date of the F-35B to 2025 instead of 2023.
