Description

The M270 MLRS (Multiple Launch Rocket System) is a highly mobile advanced artillery system providing strike capability against air defense systems, enemy artillery, armored formations and other high value targets deep inside enemy territory. Currently he M270 can fire both rockets and missiles, but in the future would be possible the addition of smart weapons to that list. The M270 is a derivative of the proven M2 Bradley Infantry Fighting Vehicle. The M270 retains the chassis of the M2. The crew of 3 can fire 12 rockets or 2 ATACMS from inside the cab leaving the fire location to avoid the counterfire. The M270 is autonomous, containing all equipment necessary to load, aim and fire the rockets or missiles.
