	122-mm Multiple Launch Rocket System 9K51 "Grad"
		Ballistit solid propellant is, in terms of energy characteristics, inferior to mixed propellant; consequently, the latter’s use in rocket propulsion units allows for an increase in the maximum firing range and payload, thereby enhancing rocket power.
		Inconsiderable retrofitting of the launch vehicle is required for remote input: the launch tubes should be fitted with contactless input devices, while remote setting equipment should be installed in the cab and interconnected by cables.
		The effect of HE fragmentation rockets with separable warheads on type targets is on average sixfold higher than standard 9M22U rockets owing to a higher impact angle relative to the horizon.

	New Rocket More Effective, Less Damage - DefendAmerica News Article
		The unitary-guided, multiple-launch rocket system is the latest addition to the U.S. Army's artillery arsenal and is designed to minimize collateral damage so not to cause unnecessary damage and destruction to innocent civilians.
		When the system was used in Tal Afar on Sept. 9 and 10, damage to surrounding buildings was almost non-existent and the target’s destruction was absolute, said Capt. Robert J. Hannah, 3 rd Bn., 13 th FAR.
		The physical and psychological effect the system had on the enemy in Tal Afar – who was trying either successfully defend against an attack or goad the Coalition into destroying large portions of the city – was extremely valuable, McMaster said.
