The CRV7, short for "Canadian Rocket Vehicle 7", is a 2.75-inch (70 mm) folding-fin ground attack rocket produced by Bristol Aerospace in Winnipeg, Manitoba. It was introduced in the early 1970s as an upgraded version of the standard U.S. 2.75-inch air-to-ground rocket.
It used two different rockets. The open metal frames of the launcher were sized to fit the 32-centimetre (13 in) rocket, but adapter rails were provided to allow the 28-centimetre (11 in) rockets to fit. The 28 cm Wurfkörper Spreng (Explosive missile) rocket weighed 82 kilograms (181 lb) and had a 50-kilogram (110 lb) high-explosive warhead.
