ASTROS II Mk6

The ASTROS II Mk6 is a highly mobile multiple launch rocket system (MLRS) developed by Brazil. It is capable of firing a wide range of unguided and guided rockets, providing significant firepower for area denial and precision strikes.

Developed by Avibras as part of the ambitious "Astros 2020" modernization program initiated in 2011, the Mk6 variant was designed to upgrade Brazil's strategic deterrence through digitized command systems and tactical cruise missile compatibility. The first production units of the Mk6 standard were officially delivered to the Brazilian Army in 2014. While legacy ASTROS II systems saw extensive combat during the Gulf War with Iraqi and Saudi forces, the Mk6 serves as a modern deterrent, with units also exported to Indonesia. Today, the Mk6 remains in active service as the cornerstone of Brazil's long-range artillery, continuously evolving to field the AV-TM 300 cruise missile.
