Rocket Weapon System

The CRV7 Rocket Weapon System is the leading 2.75" (70mm) unguided rocket weapon system available for use on fixed wing and rotary wing aircraft.

The CRV7 Rocket Weapon System (RWS) is comprised of rocket motors, launchers, and various warheads, depending upon mission objectives. The system is based on two versions of rocket motors – one for a fixed wing platform and one for a rotary wing platform.

The rocket motors are manufactured using a proprietary solid composite propellant that delivers superior energy and remains stable through extreme conditions. The CRV7 provides unrivalled performance and exceptional safety for the Customer.

CRV7 is designed for uncompromising, optimum performance for each of the particular operational environments of helicopters and fighter aircraft. The CRV7 RWS is in service today in Canada and with various forces of NATO, ASEAN, and Australasia.
