Israel Aircraft Industries' MLM Division Tested Long-Range Artillery System
Nov 9, 2003
Israel Aircraft Industries (IAI)'s MLM Division tested on November 5, 2003, a long-range artillery system. The majority of the test objectives were achieved.
The artillery rocket, developed by MLM Division, is indifferent to weather conditions, and is designed to hit targets situated deep within enemy lines. The rocket is placed inside a canister and launched by a simple launcher. Its level of accuracy is approximately 15 meters and its range depends on the type of warhead.
The rocket is 5.2 meters long and its diameter is 62 cm.
Development of the artillery rocket is based on the assumption that there is a world market for systems which can provide accurate hits on quality targets, as was also demonstrated in the last confrontation in Iraq.
