The Spectral and Photometric Imaging REceiver (SPIRE) is one of the three instruments on board the European Space Agency's Herschel Space Observatory launched on May 14, 2009. SPIRE features an imaging photometer with passbands centered at 250, 350 and 500 microns, and an imaging Fourier transform spectrometer covering the wavelength range between 194 and 672 microns. In view of its latest performance verification results, we describe the updated SPIRE instrumental capabilities, and its scientific potential. The instrument was developed by a consortium of European and American scientists, led by P.I. Prof. M. Griffin of Cardiff University (UK). The US is playing a crucial role in SPIRE, by providing its bolometer arrays (developed by Dr. J. Bock at JPL), participating in SPIRE's ground and in-flight commissioning and calibration, and in the development of the Herschel Common Science System (HCSS) data reduction software. Support for both Key and Open Time Programs of US astronomers is provided by the NASA Herschel Science Center (NHSC) at the Infrared Processing and Analysis Center (IPAC).
