Multiple Launch Rocket System (MLRS)

The Multiple Launch Rocket System (MLRS) is a surface-to-surface rocket system jointly developed by the USA, UK, France, Germany, and Italy in the early 1980s primarily through Lockheed Martin. According to the Memorandum of Understanding between the Japanese and American governments, we began licensed production of Japanese modified self-propelled launchers in 1992. Since 2005, we have been working on overhaul and improvement of the fire control system of the launchers.
