U.S. Marine's Super Powerful M142 HIMARS Rockets In Action
HIMARS (high-mobility artillery rocket system) is the newest member of the multiple-launch rocket system (MLRS) family. HIMARS is a highly mobile artillery rocket system offering the firepower of MLRS on a wheeled chassis. It was developed in 1996 by Lockheed Martin Missiles and Fire Control under an advanced concept technology demonstration (ACTD) programme. HIMARS is intended to engage and defeat artillery, air defence concentrations, trucks, and light armour and personnel carriers, as well as support troop and supply concentrations. The system launches its weapons and moves away from the area at high speed before enemy forces locate the launch site. Video by 94th Airlift Wing, Sgt. Matthew Callahan, Spc.
