	Artillery - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Modern artillery is distinguished by its large calibre, firing an explosive shell or rocket, and being of such a size and weight as to require a specialized mount for firing and transport.
		Because artillery is an indirect fire weapon, the forward observer must take up a position where he can observe the target using tools such as binoculars and laser range finders and designators and call back fire missions on his radio.
		Artillery could no longer be deployed in the battle line, the large crews and stocks of ammunition were vulnerable to rifle fire, but had to either become smaller, lighter, more mobile and stay with the troops or get much further away.

	Artillery
		"Artillery" is a general term covering several varieties of large-calibre weapons; currently these fire an explosive shell or rocket and are of such a size and weight as to require a specialized mount for firing and transport.
		Weapons covered by this term in the modern era include "tube" artillery such as the howitzer, cannon, mortar, and field gun and "rocket" artillery.
		Because artillery is an indirect fire weapon, the forward observer must take up a position where he can observer the enemy using tools such as binoculars and laser range finders and designators and call back fire missions on his radio.

		Artillery crews are detailed and developed in the same manner as a normal Section in Flintloque increasing in experience as they fight through a series of battles.
		Artillery can be moved in two ways, either by the crew physically shoving and pulling the unlimbered weapon or by fully limbering it up to a train of animals who then pull it around.
		Rockets are used mainly by the Orcs of Albion, and are notably unreliable.

	HISTORY OF THE ROCKET 1804 TO 1815
		A rocket, it appeared, had passed through his knapsack without hurting him; but such was the violence with which it flew, that he fell upon his face, and the horrible hissing sound produced by it was one which he declared that he never could forget.
		The 2nd troop of Rocket Artillery was sent to Germany and saw action at the Battle of Gordhe in 1813, where they contributed to the success of the small British contingent fighting with the Prussians and Swedes, as described by a British foot soldier.
		Rockets were used by the Royal Navy in their defeat of the Bey of Algiers in 1816, the rockets destroyed many ships in the harbour.

	Indirect Airborne Rocket Artillery
		Airborne Rocket Artillery (ARA) was used in Vietnam, although these were mainly used for direct fire missions using the 2.75" Hydra FFAR.
		Since we are discussing a rocket for indirect fire such a helicopter would not be visible to the target.
		The second stage is only for the 155mm shell based rocket -to adapt it to rocket propulsion (there are precedents to this such as the "Land Mattress" system that mated a 5" naval shell with a 3" Surface to Air rocket).

	M270 Multiple Launch Rocket System - MLRS
		The MLRS M270 Launcher, a derivative of the Bradley Fighting Vehicle (BFV), is the standard U.S. Army platform for firing surface to surface artillery rockets and missiles.
		The Armored Vehicle Mounted Rocket Launcher (M270) is a full-tracked, self-propelled launcher/loader designed to launch 12 tactical rockets and re-deploy before enemy determination of launch position (shoot and scoot).
		The launcher consists of six rockets, each of which are mounted and controlled in both azimuth and elevation.

	Creation and Development of Rocket Artillery in the First Phase of the War
		Colonel V.V. Gurkin served in the wartime rocket artillery at various levels of responsibility from platoon commander to brigade chief of reconnaissance.
		The accelerated development of rocket artillery was largely in connection with its battlefield characteristics, which met the demands of the highly mobile operations of the first period of the war, as well as with the simplified construction of combat launchers and the decreased use of critical metals and other scarce materials in their production.
		The role taken by rocket artillery in the defensive fighting for Stalingrad may be followed using the example of the combat actions of the 83rd Guards Mortar Regiment (commanded by Colonel K.T. Golubev).

	50 YEARS OF THE REGIMENT OF ARTILLERY - 2
		The Artillery is not a dashing and flamboyant arm like the armour nor does it work eyeball to eyeball with the enemy like the infantry.
		Artillery is essentially a neutralisation weapon - though some Indian experts in the Indian Artillery Schools (field) Deolali, feel that modern artillery can be equally effective as a destructive weapon for the engagement of hardened and pin-point targets.
		Rocket artillery which has its roots in multiple warhead technology is likely to be further developed towards target seeking warheads to eliminate its present day dispersion.

		This is a one-sided matchup because the ROCA does not possess a rocket of this caliber.
		The WS-1 multiple rocket system with its 320mm rockets is one of the largest unguided rockets in existence worldwide.
		It is a smaller caliber rocket with less range and a smaller warhead compared to the Type 82.

		The launcher assembly carries 4 rockets, and is mounted on a Type 60 artillery tractor for mobility.

		The rocket of the 273mm MRL has a range of 40km with a 138kg warhead.

	NTI: Country Overviews: Iran: Missile Capabilities
		Although the Iranians frequently call the Oghab a missile, it is actually a 230mm unguided artillery rocket, with a range of 45km, and a warhead of 70kg.
		In most armies, a short-range artillery rocket such as the Oghab would be only be of value as a tactical weapon because of its range.
		From what is known about the wartime development of artillery rockets, it appears that Iran engaged in the development of almost a dozen different systems, each with a number of different models.

	HIMARS - High Mobility Artillery Rocket System
		The purpose of HIMARS is to engage and defeat tube and rocket artillery, air defence concentrations, trucks, light armour and personnel carriers, as well as support troop and supply concentrations.
		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.
		In order to practice the firing of HIMARS and MLRS on existing artillery ranges it was necessary to develop a reduced range rocket which would provide safe and realistic live-fire training.

		Mortars fire relatively short range and small-calibre projectiles in a high arc against targets that cannot be reached by low-angle (less than 45 degrees) fire, such as troops on the reverse slope of a hillside.

		The rocket unit personnel are distinguished by team work, which is evident in tracking and aiming at aerial targets.
		It is very important for the rocket crews to discover and track the target on time, to radiate as little energy as possible into the air in order to avoid being located.
		The rocket unit personnel must be well acquainted with their weapons, not only to use, adjust or serve them effectively, but also to maintain them regularly.

		It is worth pointing out that helicopter based artillery would have a far greater choice of firing positions -for example, from over swampland or open bodies of water.
		For such a rocket to be effective its destructive power should be at least equal to a 155mm shell since this is widely quoted as the minimum size of projectile suitable for breaking up massed armour.
		Whatever the form of rocket, I suggest that they are handled and shipped in four shot 2x2 "launch-cases".

		Because of the lighter weight of using one pod rather than two, it will have a faster time, compared to the current M270, from the point the fire mission is received to the actual munition firing.
		The purpose of HIMARS is to engage and defeat tube and rocket artillery, air defense concentrations, trucks, light armor and personnel carriers.
		On 28 May, a single rocket, a three-round ripple and a six-round ripple were fired at 60 degrees azimuth (left side) and 22 degrees elevation.

		Typically the length of a mortar barrel is less than 15 times its caliber (inner diameter).
		There are also mortar carrier vehicles, many of which allow the mortar to be removed from the vehicle and be used dismounted, potentially in terrain the vehicle can't get to or in order to avoid immediate detection.
		The crowning achievement of naval artillery was the battleship, but the advent of airpower and missiles have rendered this type of artillery largely obsolete.
