GIM-5 Spiral Close-Range SAM System

DESCRIPTION

The GIM-5 "Spiral" SHORAD/Close-Range Air Defence system is a modular SAM system designed for being transportable, lightweight and act as a deterrence for a localised airspace. The system comes with several different capabilities to supplement its air defence role and acts as a smaller - more transportable short-ranged alternative to the much larger GIM-3 "Helix" MEDRAD system.

The missiles themselves (GIM-5) are fairly reliable, and are at their most effective for front & rear aspect shots. They are mostly designed for low & slow flying aircraft as well as helicopters as part of its SHORAD role in which it works best. It is not expected to hit high-flying/high-speed manoeuvring targets - with that role once again being for the larger GIM-3 MEDRAD.
