Lightweight Launcher Launched
Having built more than a million 2.75-inch rocket launchers, Arnold Defense is the biggest manufacturer of such products in the world.

Since 1961 Arnold Defense has been manufacturing rocket launchers for U.S. and allied forces, and has delivered more than 1.1 million 2.75-in units in that time. The company designs and builds launchers in any size and capacity that the customer requires, and the products have been employed on a wide variety of platforms across air, sea and land domains.


Recently the company introduced a new lightweight launcher, designated LWL-12. The launcher weighs just over 60 pounds empty. Another products on display at the Singapore Airshow is the popular M261 19-round launcher for 2.75-in rockets, as used by most AH-64 Apache operators, including the Republic of Singapore Air Force.


Arnold Defense is currently developing a laser-guided rocket launcher system, known as the Fletcher. This will become available later this year, having been exhibited on a special forces vehicle at the AUSA and DSEI defense shows last year.
