A Study on the Effectiveness of a Multiple Rocket Launcher (MRL) with Unguided Rockets

Abstract

Multiple Rocket Launchers (MRL) have been used for an army weapon system over the past several decades. In this study, we have predicted effectiveness for MRL with a certain unguided rocket. ARTQUIK model has been used to calculate requirements of rocket with Target Location Error (TLE), lethality of warhead and target size. Needs for rocket sharply increased by about 170% with TLE. Enhancement of lethality helped to reduce amount of rocket. Especially, it rose by five times with TLE in the tiny target size of below 50m. However, a number of rocket increased by three times with TLE in the large target size of above 150m.
