The group is involved in three weapon programs, namely a guided rocket, a multi-stage ballistic missile capable of reaching over 2,000 kilometers, and a multi-variant missile program. Using Claude Code, Ansar Allah developed sophisticated software for controlling and stabilizing flying vehicles, integrating an open-source autopilot with a phone-class flight computer and conducting flight simulations.
