SQUALL Cruise Missile: 300+ km Precision Strike

The SQUALL cruise missile is a new Spanish long-range precision strike system unveiled by Indra in September 2026. Designed for attacks against high-value targets more than 300 kilometers away, SQUALL is intended for targets such as command and control centers, air defense systems, and military infrastructure. Indra also presents it as a lower-cost missile concept suitable for both limited precision strikes and coordinated saturation attacks.

SQUALL is designed for low-altitude flight, which the manufacturer says can reduce exposure to enemy radar detection. Its navigation and guidance architecture is intended to maintain effectiveness in environments affected by electronic jamming and spoofing. The missile can be integrated with land and naval platforms and launched from ramps, containers, or tactical vehicles.

Manufacturer

Indra, a Spanish technology and defense company, unveiled SQUALL at UNVEX 2026 in San Javier, Spain. The company says the system is being developed around a resilient national supply chain to support production scaling during periods of supply disruption. SQUALL remains a developmental system, and detailed information about production, testing, operators, dimensions, propulsion, and warhead has not been publicly disclosed.

Speed and Range

Indra publicly states a range of more than 300 km. The manufacturer has not released a verified maximum speed, altitude ceiling, launch weight, or accuracy figure. Therefore, these specifications should not be estimated from comparable cruise missiles.

Cost/Price

SQUALL is described by Indra as a low-cost cruise missile, but no official unit price has been announced. Its intended lower-cost design is aimed at making larger quantities available for precision and saturation missions.
