M26
The M26 rockets are spin-stabilized unguided projectiles. They are powered by a solid fuel rocket motor. Once fired, the M26 rocket follows a ballistic trajectory. The M26 rockets are stored in individual tubes which provide storage and act as the launch ramp. The 2 launch containers employed by the M270 MLRS rocket artillery system consist of 12 (2x6) M26 rockets inside their associated tubes. The M26 rocket is the main ammunition of the M270 MLRS (Multiple Launch Rocket System). Both were combat proven successfully in 1991, during the operation Desert Storm. The M28 is a training rocket designed to simulate the M26 rocket firing. The M26 rocket has been fielded in 14 countries around the world. Each M26 rocket carries up to dual purpose 644 M77 DPICM submunitions detonated by impact at a maximum range of 32 km. Employing the M77 submunitions a M26 rocket can cover an area of 0.23 square kilometers.
