Israeli defense company Rafael unveiled its new SUPER ICE cruise missile on Wednesday, November 11. The missile is designed for multi-platform launch from land, air, and sea. It features a 453-kilogram warhead and an advanced autonomous navigation system, enabling high-precision strikes without GPS reliance. The SUPER ICE can fly at low altitudes, hugging terrain to evade radar detection, and uses an electro-optical sensor with AI-powered image matching for target identification in all weather conditions.
Rafael stated that the missile can travel most of its route undetected, with the enemy only becoming aware of it shortly before impact, leaving little time for defense. The SUPER ICE is part of the ICE BREAKER family, with its warhead being four times larger than the previous model, allowing for more destructive power. Compatibility with existing ICE BREAKER infrastructure means it can be deployed from current aircraft and launchers without significant modifications.
All critical development and production stages for the SUPER ICE are conducted in Israel, ensuring supply chain resilience against potential boycotts or trade restrictions. The timing of the missile's presentation has drawn attention due to ongoing discussions about a potential strike against Iran. Rafael's promotional video showcased the SUPER ICE hitting the entrance to an underground facility and a fortified tunnel, highlighting its capability against hardened infrastructure like Iran's underground missile sites and advanced air defense systems.
