ASTROS III 8×8 vehicle that will have double the firepower of ASTROS AFC
Specialized in the development of innovative technological solutions in the areas of Defense, Aeronautics, Space, Electronics and Vehicles, AVIBRAS Aerospace Industry will be present in another edition of LAAD Defence & Security, showing its portfolio of products recognized in the world market of Defense and Security.
Guided by excellence and innovation, AVIBRAS will present cutting edge products such as:
- The ASTROS II MK6 (Rocket and Missile Artillery System), a world reference in its class and combat-proven;
- The Tactical Cruise Missile (TCM) capable of neutralizing targets up to 300 km;
- The new ASTROS AFC (Autonomous Firing Calculation) which is a version destined to offer excellent cost-benefit, allowing it to operate alone or in section, and its launcher has greater firepower and the ability to calculate the firing elements, fire and seek shelter (“Shoot & Scoot”), minimizing the exposure of the AFC System;
- The C4ISTAR which is scalable from Battalion to Division and based on AVIBRAS’ decades of experience with the ASTROS Command and Control System, has the interfaces for integration of the Intelligence, Surveillance, Targeting and Reconnaissance functions and their respective link with higher echelon Command and Control Systems;
- The family of Land-to-Ground, Air-to-Ground, Sea-to-Ground and Anti-Ship Missile Systems;
- And the ASTROS III, based on an 8×8 vehicle, which will have twice the firepower of the ASTROS AFC and will accumulate all the technological legacy of the ASTROS MK6, launching ballistic rockets, guided rockets, ballistic missiles and tactical cruise missiles.
The company will also bring its pioneering spirit and expertise in the space area with the VSB-30, the highly successful suborbital vehicle of the Brazilian Space Program, and the S50, the largest rocket motor ever made in Brazil with 12 tons of solid propellant and innovative technologies such as the use of carbon fiber for the production of the motor envelope, which makes it lighter and more efficient.
With its participation in this edition, AVIBRAS reinforces the solid partnership and commitment with the Armed Forces of Brazil for the development of high value-added technologies aimed at the country’s sovereignty, as is the case of the tactical cruise missile in the process of certification with the Brazilian Army, besides reinforcing that it is a reliable partner to boost cutting-edge technological knowledge both in Brazil and abroad.
