Typhoon (in progress) F-35B (contracted) JAS39 Gripen (in progress)
The Select Precision Effects At Range (SPEAR) Capability 3, or simply referred to as SPEAR 3 is a future British air-to-ground and possibly anti-ship cruise missile that could also be considered a loitering munition.[8][9] It is currently planned to be integrated on the Eurofighter Typhoon, F-35B Lightning and possibly Tempest.[10][11]
SPEAR 3 had been planned to be operational in 2025.[12] However, in November 2021, Defence Procurement Minister Jeremy Quin told the House of Commons Select Defence Committee that full operating capability for SPEAR-3 on F-35 might not occur until 2028.[13]
A SPEAR-EW(Electronic Warfare) variant, similar in capabilities to the ADM-160 MALD, has also been fast-tracked into development.[14]
