- Recoil: Very Low
- Tandem-Charge Rocket
- Infrared Targeting System
- Shield Defeater: The use of a Ion and HEAT Tandem Warhead allows the rocket a significant advantage when it comes to shielded targets
- Anti-Armor and Anti-Air: The AA/AL-1's infrared targeting system doesn't distinguish between ground and air targets allowing the launcher to target both
- Very Large and Very Heavy: Due to the fact that the launcher carries not one but three rocket the launcher is very heavy and very large
- Very Low Fire Rate: The launcher requires ten seconds to get a target lock and then has to reload, giving the launcher a very low rate of fire
- Weak vs. Flares: Because of the launchers use of a infrared targeting system it can be easily spoofed by flares and therefore not hitting their target
Looking to create both a anti-armor and anti-air rocket launcher the design team of Hekler'Kok began to work on an original design before the a member of the team brought about the idea of instead rehashing and upgrading an old classic. After looking at a wide variety of launchers they finally decided on the RPS-6 produced by Sienar Fleet Systems during the Clone Wars and used by both sides. They chose the RPS-6 because during it was the only launcher found to be easily modifiable, which they found to be the most desirable qualities according to their plans for the launcher.
Once the launcher was decided on they began the work on modifying it to better suit their projected needs. The first thing they did was replace the original High Explosive Anti-Tank or HEAT warhead with a Tandem Charge warhead consist of an Ion warhead and an improved HEAT. The Tandem Charge allows for the Ion warhead to impact shields which theoretically would disable any shields before the HEAT round impacts before the shield can recycle. Along with the warhead they added a infrared targeting system for better target acquistion.
