A multiple rocket launcher (MRL) or multiple launch rocket system (MLRS) is a type of rocket artillery system. Rockets have different capabilities than artillery, like longer range, and different payloads, for example considerably larger warheads, or multiple warheads. Unguided rocket artillery is notoriously inaccurate and slow to reload, compared to artillery. To overcome this, rockets are combined in systems that can launch multiple rockets simultaneously. Modern rockets can use GPS or inertial guidance, to combine the advantages of rockets with high accuracy. ==History== The first multiple rocket launchers were made in Song-dynasty China. It was a primitive design where multiple fire arrows were fired from a gunpowder box. These also appeared later, in an expanded version, in the Joseon Dynasty of Korea.〔 |Title: What Life was Like in the Land of the Dragon |Publisher: Time-Life; First Edition (October 1998) |ISBN: 978-0783554587 〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「multiple rocket launcher」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
