Missouri-based Defense Manufacturer Announces Two Major Orders

  • October 22, 2020

Arnold Defense, a Missouri-based defense manufacturer, recently announced the receipt of two major orders for their unique FLETCHER Land Based, Laser Guided Rocket Launcher. The FLETCHER precision guided 2.75-inch/70mm weapon system was first unveiled in 2017.

“Arnold Defense is delighted to have signed these two contracts to supply our supremely capable FLETCHER surface-based rocket launcher,” said Doug Wallace, President of Arnold Defense. “FLETCHER has generated huge interest globally with its unique capability to deliver organic, long-range precision firepower to even the smallest tactical element. It is great to see serious international interest developing into firm orders and we’re expecting much more to follow.”

Since the launch of the concept in 2017, FLETCHER has been showcased at a number of international exhibitions, generating exceptional levels of interest while Arnold Defense continued with an ongoing development and investment program to broaden and prove the system’s capability. Vehicle and static mounted FLETCHER systems give the user the ability to accurately engage targets from the ground at a range of more than 5km.

FLETCHER’s unique design allows for ease of operation, maintenance and sustainment. It employs an existing suite of guidance modules, rockets and warheads already used in well-known programs and readily available to global forces. As a result, the FLETCHER system is ‘rocket agnostic’ allowing the user to fire their existing in-service 2.75-inch rockets of choice.
