Arnold Defense, in association with Thales, has received formal certification to fire the Thales FZ90 70 mm/2.75 inch unguided Folding Fin Aircraft Rocket (FFAR) from the entire range of Arnold Defense air-to-surface and surface-to-surface rocket launchers.

The certification follows a jointly funded live-firing campaign at the Dillon Aero desert range facility near Maricopa, Arizona in mid-January. During the campaign, ‘a significant number of rockets’ were fired from the Arnold Defense land, aerial, and maritime launchers that were mounted on a Bell 407 utility helicopter for air-to-surface tests and from a 4x4 Toyota Land Cruiser-mounted vehicle integrated system for surface-to-surface tests.
