• As per the contract, the Indian Army and Air Force’s multi-role attack helicopters (18 Advanced Light Helicopters and 15 Light Combat Helicopters) will each be equipped with four 2.75-inch (70-mm) 12-tube rocket launchers.
• �׻���������’s rocket launcher was tested and qualified for the Light Combat Helicopter in India in 2018.
• �׻��������� and Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) have a partnership going back more than 50 years.

Hindustan Aeronautics Limited, seeking to boost the tactical capabilities of the Indian armed forces, has awarded �׻��������� a contract to supply 135 2.75-inch (70-mm) rocket launchers. �׻���������’s fully certified, field-proven, competitive rocket launchers are suitable for use on both light and combat helicopters. As a key differentiator for state-of-the-art helicopters and combat aircraft, they provide an excellent fit with the requirements of the Indian armed forces.

The Indian armed forces are involved in a wide range of deployments in remote theatres, conducting operations beyond the scope of traditional homeland defence. For this reason, they need to round out their available resources with a view to boosting their tactical capability.

�׻���������’s 2.75-inch (70-mm) rocket launchers are produced using composite material, making them an average of 50% lighter than metal launchers, and eliminating corrosion issues. They offer best-in-class precision and reliability, providing crews with optimum support during missions. The solution to be supplied by �׻��������� includes four 2.75-inch (70-mm) 12-tube rocket launchers, plus fire control capability and the T100 sighting system, as supplied under previous orders (more than 80 Advanced Light Helicopters have already been equipped with the solution). The huge range of 2.75-inch (70-mm) munitions available for use with the launchers, from conventional rockets to �׻���������’s laser-guided variant, encompasses a broad spectrum of the missions facing today’s armed forces.

“This new collaboration between �׻��������� and HAL in the field of air-launched weaponry opens up new opportunities for the supply of equipment to the Indian armed forces, and consolidates �׻���������’s position in the Indian market. With this, helicopter crews will see a significant improvement in their tactical capabilities during missions,” said Emmanuel de Roquefeuil, VP and Country Director, �׻��������� in India.
