Rampage

Israel’s supersonic stand-off precision missile — a quasi-ballistic, low-cost adaptation of the EXTRA artillery rocket that delivers GPS/INS-guided strikes beyond the reach of enemy air defenses from a wide range of fighter aircraft.

Overview

Rampage is an air-launched supersonic stand-off weapon developed by IMI Systems (now part of Elbit Systems) with Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI). It is derived from the ground-launched EXTRA guided rocket, sharing the same 306 mm caliber and solid-propellant propulsion, but redesigned with reinforced hardpoints for fighter-carriage and a suite of anti-jam navigation electronics. The missile fills a gap in the Israeli and allied strike portfolio: a comparatively cheap, salvo-capable munition that gives non-stealthy F-16s and F-15s the ability to destroy time-critical, high-value fixed targets — air bases, air-defense sites, command posts and munitions bunkers — from stand-off ranges that keep the launch aircraft outside the engagement envelope of modern surface-to-air missile systems.
