That is about to change.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Rafael Advanced Defense Systems announced at the Air, Space &amp; Cyber conference on 15 September 2026 that it is integrating the SPICE 1000 air-to-surface munition onto the F-35. The work is being done jointly with Lockheed Martin at Lockheed facilities in the United States, and Rafael expects it to finish over the next several months.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>It is the first time an Israeli stand-off weapon has been put onto the Lightning II, and Rafael has been clear that Israel is not intended to be the only customer.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n<div style=\"max-width:550px;margin:0 auto 28px\"><iframe class=\"skip-lazy\" data-no-lazy=\"1\" loading=\"eager\" src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/embed\/Tweet.html?id=2099917412107767855&theme=light\" style=\"width:100%;height:520px;border:none;overflow:hidden\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div style=\"background:#f5f6f8;border-left:4px solid #5C91FF;padding:18px 22px;margin:26px 0\"><p style=\"margin:0 0 10px;font-weight:700;font-size:17px;color:#0d1117\">Quick Facts<\/p><p style=\"margin:4px 0;font-size:15px\"><strong>Weapon:<\/strong> Rafael SPICE 1000 &mdash; Smart, Precise Impact, Cost-Effective, 1,000 lb class<\/p><p style=\"margin:4px 0;font-size:15px\"><strong>Guidance:<\/strong> Electro-optical seeker with scene-matching; does not depend on GPS for terminal guidance<\/p><p style=\"margin:4px 0;font-size:15px\"><strong>Stated range:<\/strong> More than 120 km (about 75 miles), using deployable wings after release<\/p><p style=\"margin:4px 0;font-size:15px\"><strong>In service:<\/strong> With the Israeli Air Force since 2017, carried by F-15 and F-16<\/p><p style=\"margin:4px 0;font-size:15px\"><strong>Integration partner:<\/strong> Lockheed Martin, at US facilities<\/p><p style=\"margin:4px 0;font-size:15px\"><strong>Timeline:<\/strong> Completion expected within several months of September 2026<\/p><p style=\"margin:4px 0;font-size:15px\"><strong>Pentagon paperwork:<\/strong> FY2027 F-35 Modernized Selected Acquisition Report, dated 21 April 2026, cleared for publication in August<\/p><\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 style=\"padding-top:22px\">What SPICE 1000 actually does<\/h2>\r\n\r\n<p>SPICE is an electro-optically guided stand-off family. The 1,000 lb-class member is the one in question here, and its selling point is a specific kind of stubbornness.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Most precision weapons degrade badly when satellite navigation is jammed or spoofed, which is now routine rather than exotic. SPICE gets around that by carrying a picture of the target. Its electro-optical seeker runs scene-matching algorithms against stored imagery, comparing what it sees on the way in with what it expects to see. That gives it a terminal guidance path that does not rely exclusively on GPS.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The second part is reach. Deployable wings snap out after release and extend the glide, giving a stated range beyond 120 kilometres. That is far enough to launch from outside the engagement envelope of a good many surface-to-air systems.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Rafael says it has been operational with the Israeli Air Force since 2017 and describes it as one of the service\u2019s primary precision weapons, carried by F-15s and F-16s. An F-16I Sufa can lift four.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\" style=\"margin:0 0 24px;width:100%\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"skip-lazy\" data-no-lazy=\"1\" loading=\"eager\" width=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/migflug.com\/afterburner\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/09\/israeli-f-35i-adir-and-f-16i-sufa.jpg\" alt=\"An Israeli Air Force F-35I Adir flying alongside a desert-camouflaged F-16I Sufa\" style=\"width:100%;height:auto;max-width:100%;display:block\"><figcaption style=\"font-size:13px;color:#777;text-align:center;margin-top:6px;font-style:italic\">The handover in one frame: an F-35I Adir and an F-16I Sufa.

The paperwork got there first.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The US Department of War\u2019s FY2027 F-35 Modernized Selected Acquisition Report, dated 21 April 2026 and cleared for publication in August, records that integration of the Israel-unique SPICE 1000B was progressing, with a strategy to accelerate it through something the document calls a &ldquo;SPICE Lite&rdquo; process.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n<div style=\"max-width:550px;margin:0 auto 28px\"><iframe class=\"skip-lazy\" data-no-lazy=\"1\" loading=\"eager\" src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/embed\/Tweet.html?id=2099942678066757893&theme=light\" style=\"width:100%;height:520px;border:none;overflow:hidden\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div style=\"background:#f8f9fa;border-left:4px solid #1565c0;padding:20px 22px;margin:18px 0 24px;font-size:16px;line-height:1.7\"><em>&ldquo;Integration of Israel-unique Smart, Precise Impact, Cost-Effective 1000B (SPICE 1000B) continues to progress with a strategy to accelerate the implementation via a SPICE Lite process.&rdquo;<\/em><div style=\"margin-top:10px;font-size:14px;color:#555\"><strong>US FY2027 F-35 Modernized Selected Acquisition Report<\/strong> &mdash; dated 21 April 2026, cleared for publication in August 2026 &mdash; as quoted in open-source reporting rather than read here in full<\/div><\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The report does not explain what SPICE Lite means. What it implies is a deliberately narrow, fast integration path &mdash; get a working capability onto Israeli aircraft now, rather than queue behind the far larger Block 4 modernisation that most other F-35 operators are waiting on for new weapons.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The same passage notes that Extended Range Tanks and an electronic warfare pod for the Israeli Air Force are also in work. Israel has, as usual, negotiated itself a separate lane.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 style=\"padding-top:22px\">The question nobody has answered<\/h2>\r\n\r\n<p>Here is the detail that will decide how much this matters, and it has not been made public: whether the SPICE 1000 will be carried inside the F-35 or hung on external pylons.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The distinction is not pedantry. Internal carriage is what preserves the aircraft\u2019s low radar signature; external stores turn a stealth fighter into a fast, well-sensored conventional one. A 1,000 lb weapon with a deployable wing kit is an awkward shape, and neither Rafael nor Lockheed has said which way this goes. Until they do, the honest reading is that a stand-off weapon with a 120-kilometre reach is useful either way &mdash; a jet that can shoot from 120 km out does not need to be invisible at 20 km &mdash; but the two configurations buy very different things.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Up to now, Israeli F-35Is have gone to work with American ordnance: GBU-31 JDAMs and GBU-39 Small Diameter Bombs. Adding a domestic weapon changes the supply question as much as the tactical one.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 style=\"padding-top:22px\">And then the export case<\/h2>\r\n\r\n<p>Rafael has said explicitly, according to <em>Breaking Defense<\/em>, that F-35 operators worldwide will be able to field SPICE 1000 at a later stage.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n<div style=\"background:#f8f9fa;border-left:4px solid #5C91FF;padding:20px 22px;margin:18px 0 24px;font-size:16px;line-height:1.7\"><em>&ldquo;The standoff weapon could eventually give other F-35 operators a new path to a long-range precision strike capability.&rdquo;<\/em><div style=\"margin-top:10px;font-size:14px;color:#555\"><strong>Thomas Newdick<\/strong> &mdash; staff writer, TWZ, 16 September 2026<\/div><\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>That is a substantial commercial prize. The F-35 is operated or on order in numbers across Europe, the Middle East and the Indo-Pacific, and weapons integration on the type is tightly controlled precisely because the aircraft is a multinational programme with a shared certification framework. Getting a non-US weapon through that framework once makes the second time considerably easier.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>For European operators watching their own GPS environment deteriorate, a stand-off weapon that navigates by looking at the ground is not a niche interest. It is close to a requirement.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><em>Sources: Rafael Advanced Defense Systems; TWZ; Breaking Defense; US Department of War FY2027 F-35 Modernized Selected Acquisition Report; The Aviationist.<\/em><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n<style>.mfq{margin:34px 0 8px}.mfq h2{font:26px\/1.3 \"Gilroy semiBold\",Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;color:#0d1117;padding-top:22px;margin:0 0 6px}.mfq .qa details{border-top:1px solid #5C91FF;margin:0;padding:0}.mfq .qa details:last-of-type{border-bottom:1px solid #e2e7ee}.mfq .qa summary{cursor:pointer;list-style:none;display:flex;justify-content:space-between;align-items:center;gap:16px;padding:22px 26px;font:18px\/1.7 \"Gilroy semiBold\",Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;color:#0d1117}.mfq .qa summary::-webkit-details-marker{display:none}.mfq .qa summary::after{content:\"+\";font:24px Helvetica,sans-serif;color:#3568e0;flex:0 0 auto}.mfq .qa details[open] summary::after{content:\"\\2013\"}.mfq .qa details:hover summary{color:#3568e0}.mfq .qa .a{font:16px\/1.7 \"Gilroy regular\",Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;color:#454e5e;padding:0 26px 24px}.mfq .qa .a a{color:#3568e0}@media(max-width:680px){.mfq .qa summary{padding:18px 14px;font-size:17px}.mfq .qa .a{padding:0 14px 20px}}<\/style>\r\n\r\n\r\n<section class=\"mfq\"><h2>Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2><div class=\"qa\"><details open><summary>What is the Rafael SPICE 1000?<\/summary><div class=\"a\">SPICE stands for Smart, Precise Impact, Cost-Effective.
