The JUMPER () represents a standalone missile launching system created by Israel Aerospace Industries. Each Vertical Launch Hive (VLH) is equipped with 8 missiles and includes an integrated command and control module.
This launcher operates autonomously, requiring neither personnel nor specialized platforms. The VLH dimensions are 1.4 by 1.4 meters with a height of 2 meters, allowing installation on various platforms such as trucks, naval vessels, or terrestrial sites. Missile navigation employs GPS or Inertial guidance system technology to achieve precise targeting at distances reaching . An optional laser guidance enhancement improves accuracy, permits limited 'man in the loop' intervention, and facilitates engagement of moving targets. Individual missiles measure 1800 mm in length, have a diameter of 150 mm, and weigh 63 kg.
The JUMPER system can be fed enemy position information from unmanned aerial vehicles to coordinate simultaneous missile launches. Its operational impact is characterized by reduced collateral damage, highlighting its role in asymmetric warfare within complex combat environments.
