Avibras Aeroespacial designs, develops and manufactures Defense Products and Services for its customers worldwide including the ASTROS II System – a well known Artillery Saturation Rocket System; and the SKYFIRE-70, a new generation of high performance 70mm (2.75in) rocket.

Avibras Aeroespacial is a leading Latin American engineering company based in Brazil.

AVIBRAS SKYFIRE-70 ROCKET SYSTEM

The SKYFIRE-70 Rocket System is composed by a new family of 70mm (2.75in) rocket motors models M-8, M-9, M-10, that are equipped with composite propellant and powerful warheads. The spin stabilization and the higher kinetic energy provide superior accuracy when compared to the existing 70mm systems. Thus, resulting in greater effectiveness either in air-to-ground or ground-to-ground deployment with range up to 12,000m.

AVIBRAS SKYFIRE-70 ROCKET SYSTEM

The following types of warheads can be fitted to the rocket motors:

  • AVC-70 MW-Multiple Warhead, with anti-personnel and anti-armour effect
  • AVC-70 HE – High Explosive, with anti-personnel and anti-material effect
  • AVC-70 AC/AP – Double Effect, with anti-tank and anti-personnel effect
  • AVC-70 F – Flechette, with an intense anti-personnel effect
  • AVC-70 E – Exercise, inert
  • AVC-70 EF – Practice Smoke
  • AVC-70 FB – White Phosphorous
