	Rocket artillery at AllExperts
		Rocket artillery is artillery equipped with rocket launchers instead of conventional guns or mortars.
		These systems cannot usually match the accuracy and sustained rate of fire of conventional artillery, but may be capable of very destructive strikes by delivering a large mass of explosives simultaneously, thus increasing the shock effect and giving the target less time to take cover.
		The M270 Multiple Launch Rocket System is the United States Army's 12 x 227 mm rocket launcher.

	Multiple Rocket Launcher systems
		The M270 MLRS has proved to be a very useful long range multiple rocket system.
		Potent weapon though the rocket for the M270 is its minimum range of 10,000m precludes its use by forward maneuver elements so is usually used as a Corps or Divisional weapon.
		The rockets are obviously different from the standard models in other respects since minimum and maximum range is reduced to 300m and 5000m, which is more useful for their intended role.

	HIMARS - High Mobility Artillery Rocket System
		HIMARS fire control system, electronics and communications units are interchangeable with the MLRS M270 launcher, and the crew and training are the same as the current system.
		The extension of the rocket motor has resulted in a reduction in the payload to 518 M85 grenades, but the dispersion of the grenades is improved for better effectiveness with fewer grenades.
		HIMARS is transportable on the C-130 aircraft, allowing the system to be moved into areas previously inaccessible to the larger C-141 and C-5 aircraft required for the M270 launch vehicle.

		The most famous system is the Katyusha rocket launcher used by the Soviet Union during the World War II and by its allies during the Cold War.
		This was a simple system with low accuracy in which the launchers were mounted on the back of a truck.
		Modern systems are often mounted on armoured, tracked vehicles, have a range of tens of kilometers and may be guided for accuracy.
