This system achieved a notable milestone in 2005 when missiles were fired against test targets in Shdema, Israel and scored direct hits.

There are reports that claim that Georgia operated the SPYDER-SR during the 2008 Russo-Georgian War but these allegations and assumptions have never been verified.

The SPYDER successfully fired the Python 5 and Derby in a test range located in Shdema, Israel.

At the trial, the radar and command and control unit engaged the targets at long and short ranges.

This radar can track and engage multiple targets simultaneously and can control the missile firing units at a distance of up to 10 km away from the CCU.

[11] SPYDER-MR and SPYDER-LR offer medium & long range target interception through vertical launch while pushing the defense envelope up to an 80 km radius.

[11] Both systems enable a 360° launch within seconds of the target being declared hostile ‒ and provide all-weather, multi-launch, and net-centric capabilities.

[11] The SPYDER systems have advanced ECCM capabilities and use electro-optical observation payloads as well as wireless data link communication.
