Avibras is proud to boost the deterrence capacity of Brazil's artillery with the ASTROS System. Conceived and developed by Avibras, the ASTROS System contributes to the evolution and consolidation of the Missile and Rocket Artillery, representing a technological leap in capacity, efficiency and effectiveness in fire support for the Ground Force. It also reinforces the Army's contribution to achieving the strategic objective of Extraregional Deterrence, as well as creating and maintaining highly specialised jobs, generating income and bringing in foreign currency for Brazil through exports to friendly countries.
