➡️ Appointed head of the Aerospace Industries Organization (AIO) in 2014 by then-Defense Minister Hossein Dehghan, he reportedly played a primary role in the Fateh-110 close-range ballistic missile (CRBM) program. The outlet links this road-mobile, fin-stabilized lineage directly to modern, high-performance platforms, including the Kheibar Shekan, the Haj Qasem solid-fuel ballistic missile, and the Fattah hypersonic glide vehicle. The assessment credits him with critical advances in range, terminal accuracy, warhead modularity, intelligent guidance integration (GPS/INS and electro-optical seekers), and explosive yield, alongside expertise in establishing or restoring production lines under constraints and disruption.
➡️ His portfolio also reportedly encompasses liquid-propellant systems, multi-stage space launch vehicles (SLVs), orbital probes, and strategic infrastructure, holding primary responsibility for establishing the Imam Khomeini Space Launch Center's fixed-pad infrastructure.
