Griffon Aerospace has unveiled the new MQM-172 Arrowhead unmanned system

Griffon Aerospace, an American company based in Alabama, has officially announced the release of a new unmanned aircraft system, the MQM-172 Arrowhead. This platform is designed both for use as a high-performance target drone and as a customizable strike weapon, which makes it versatile in various application scenarios.

As noted in the company's statement, Arrowhead was created as a specialized system that provides high flexibility in performing a wide range of tasks. Daniel Beck, Airworthiness Manager and Program Manager at Griffon Aerospace, emphasized, "Arrowhead has been specifically designed to provide our customers with unparalleled flexibility in carrying out various types of missions."

The versatility of the platform allows it to be used both for training air defense and missile defense systems — as a realistic target simulating modern threats — and in combat operations, where it can be adapted to attack functions. The possibility of modification to meet specific customer requirements makes Arrowhead a promising system for both military and testing structures.

The development of the MQM-172 reflects the trend towards creating multifunctional UAVs capable of operating efficiently in a changing operational environment and reducing overall costs by replacing several highly specialized systems with one universal platform.
