Australian Army Scores a Bulls-Eye With First HELLFIRE II Launched From a Eurocopter Tiger Helicopter
Lockheed Martin and Eurocopter have completed a successful live firing of the HELLFIRE II missile from Australia's Eurocopter Tiger armed reconnaissance helicopter (ARH).

The Tiger is the first non-U.S. platform to integrate the HELLFIRE II missile.

The first of six firings paves the way for the ARH to carry the HELLFIRE II family of missiles.

An additional round of five firings is planned for later this year to clear for use in operational missions.
