Abstract

Abstract: The development process of multiple launch rocket systems (MLRSs) is reviewed, and the three development phases of extended range, improved firing dispersion and guidance implementation of MLRS since World WarⅡ are introduced intensively. The features of MLRS are summarized as well, including multiple launch tubes, spinning of projectile body, large length-diameter ratio, short-time and high thrust motor , curved trajectory and static stability design. The advantages and challenges for guided rocket projectiles are discussed. Several issues, such as strapdowninertia navigation, dynamic stability, trajectory programming and control, advanced solid rocket motor and single conductor wire launch control, which should be focused on and solved in the future investigation, are proposed.

Key words: ordnance science and technology, multiple launch rokect system, rocket, guidance, inertial navigation, stability, control system, rocket motor
