A multiple rocket launcher (MRL) or multiple launch rocket system (MLRS) is a kind of rocket artillery that has numerous launchers mounted to a single platform and fires its rocket munitions in a manner like a volley gun.
In flight, rockets are self-propelled and have various properties from conventional artillery shells, such as a greater effective range, less recoil, a typically much higher payload than a comparable sized gun artillery platform, or even the ability to carry multiple warheads.
Compared to gun artillery, unguided rocket artillery is notoriously imprecise and slow to reload. The huge kill zone of each warhead, along with the multiple rocket launcher’s capacity to fire rockets in fast succession, allows it to deliver saturation fire across a target area with ease.
Modern rockets, on the other hand, can combine the benefits of rockets with the greater accuracy of precision-guided weapons by using GPS or inertial guidance.
The Global Multiple Launch Rocket System market accounted for $XX Billion in 2023 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2024 to 2030.
The USAASC’s Multiple Launch Rocket System (MLRS), formerly known as the General Support Rocket System (GSRS), is intended to supplement the cannon weapons that U.S. Army division and corps commanders have at their disposal for the delivery of a significant amount of firepower in a brief amount of time against vital, time-sensitive targets.
Based on an M270 weapons platform, the MLRS (Multiple Launch Rocket System) is a high-mobility autonomous system.
The Army Tactical Missile System (ATACMS) Block I missiles and all free flight basic and extended-range (ER-MLRS) rockets can be launched and supported by the MLRS.
The MLRS launcher unit consists of two six-rocket pods and an M270 launcher with 12 rockets inside.
The launcher is a highly automated self-loading and self-aiming device that is installed on a stretched Bradley chassis.
The vehicle and rocket launching procedures are integrated by a fire control computer that is within. The three-person crew (driver, gunner, and section chief) can launch up to twelve MLRS rockets in less than 60 seconds without ever exiting the cab.
