Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) has introduced an innovative missile, named “Teaser,” which is being hailed as a breakthrough in guided weaponry due to its unique guidance technology. Unlike conventional guided missiles, the Teaser relies on an external optical sight rather than a built-in homing sensor, a design that sets it apart in the world of lightweight, tactical missiles. IAI has expressed intentions to establish partnerships with international manufacturers, especially focusing on India as a strategic production base for both local and export markets.
The Teaser missile is designed for deployment by infantry units, with capabilities suited for battalion-sized forces and special operations. Weighing under five pounds and equipped for shoulder-launched deployment, it represents a highly portable, low-cost solution for ground forces. Teaser uses Automatic Command to Line-of-Sight (ACLOS) guidance and is steered by an operator using an external sight called the “Teaser-Sight,” allowing precise guidance up to a range of 2.5 kilometres (1.6 miles). A key advantage of this guidance system is that it does not depend on GNSS, making it resistant to GNSS jamming or spoofing — a critical feature in electronic warfare environments.
