FN ARROWS™ stands for Advanced Reconnaissance & Remotely Operated Weapon System. Truly versatile, it can be equipped with an assortment of machine guns and an optional 40mm automatic high velocity grenade launcher kit. It offers total protection for the operator since it is aimed and fired from beneath the armor.
FN ARROWS™ is the result of the combined expertise of FN HERSTAL, global leader in small arms, and Rheinmetall Canada, a leading systems integrator.
FN ARROWS™ is designed to fulfill the most demanding operational requirements. Our extensive experience with armed forces worlwide combined with over 100 years experience in ballistics guarantees that the FN ARROWS™ is effective, reliable and easily maintainable.
