WS-2 WeiShi [Guardian]
The WS-2 GMLRS is featured in the long range, high firing precision, powerful salvo firing force, quick battle reaction, easy operation, convenient maintenance and high security, etc. The rockets can be equipped with different warheads, used in striking large-scale surface targets.
Targets include: military base; airport; port; assembly fleet; important transport hinge; military industrial base; political and economical center; armor troops; artillery and rocket launch position; ground radar station and command control center; and other important military surface targets. Controlling system to adopt the strapdown inertial guidance system composed by low-cost inertial components, controlling the tripath attitude stability of the rocket body and increasing the controlling precision through combining the lateral and normal guidance.
After receiving the campaign mission, the troop should make ready preparation and get together in the battlefield through railway or highway. The WS-2 rockets should be firstly sent out from the battlefield warfare, and hoisted to the transport & loading truck (or directly hoisted to the launch truck), and then be sent to the waiting-position (or directly be sent to the launch position) based on the superior¡¯s command. After arriving in the launch position, the GMLRS should be unfolded immediately and conduct rocket launching after prompt preparation. After finishing the mission, the launch truck should retreat to the battlefield or waiting-position. The transport & loading truck should hoist new rockets promptly and prepare for the next round of battle.
The WS-2 GMLRS belongs to the conventional artillery tactical weapon.
