SPYDER The SPYDER ( Surface - to - air PYthon and DERby ) is an advanced anti - aircraft missile system developed by the Israeli company Rafael Advanced Defense Systems , which is fitted atop a Czech Tatra truck . It implements surface - to - air versions of the Python - 5 and Derby missiles of the same company . SPYDER is a quick reaction medium range missile system that can engage aircraft , helicopters , unmanned air vehicles , drones and precision - guided munitions . It provides air defence for fixed assets and for point and area mobile forces in combat areas . Research that was used to develop the SPYDER was later used to develop the Iron Dome . Test firings of the system by the company were underway as of 2010 Description . The SPYDER - SR system has 360° engagement ability and missiles can be launched from the full - readiness state in less than five seconds after target confirmation . The kill range is up to and at altitudes from a minimum of to a maximum of . The system can perform multi - target simultaneous engagement and single , multiple and ripple firing , by day and night , in all weather . The command and control unit is developed by Israel Aerospace Industries . It is housed in a truck - mounted shelter with a mounted Elta EL / M - 2106 ATAR radar , identification friend or foe ( IFF ) interrogator and communication equipment . The VHF / UHF communication system is for internal squadron communication and to upper tier command . The Elta EL / M - 2106 ATAR 3D surveillance radar can track up to 500 targets simultaneously . The radar has 360° operation and all - weather day and night ability . The radar includes advanced electronic counter - countermeasures ( ECCM ) to operate in dense hostile electronic warfare environments . It has been suggested that a SPYDER system could be armed with David ' s Sling missiles , modified with boosters to increase speed at launch and different seekers . The missile can hit targets from 65 feet to 28 , 000 feet , making the SPYDER a mobile long - range rocket interceptor . Export . India plans to acquire 18 systems at a cost of $ 415 million ( Rs . 1800 crore ) for its air force , but the deal was reviewed by the Central Vigilance Commission , the government ’ s anti - corruption agency .
