Over the course of five days in December 2023, testers at U.S. Army Yuma Proving Ground fired eight full-up Spike non line of sight rounds in a variety of test scenarios. In more than one fire, the AH-64 Apache dropped down in altitude and even turned 180 degrees as the missile sped toward its target to intentionally lose link with the round to verify it would still hit the target on its automatic track: the link was reestablished before impact in one test, intentionally not reestablished in another.
