Description: M270 MLRS MULTIPLE LAUNCH ROCKET SYSTEM MAHOGANY WOOD WOODEN MILITARY MODEL TANK This handcrafted mahogany wood tank model is an extremely beautiful replica of the M270 MLRS (Multiple Launch Rocket System). Pod actually raises and lowers as well as rotates 360 degrees. Model is loaded with tons of details from front to back, door and hatch covers, blastic blast blinders as well as each track has been individually cut for added depth and detail. The weapon can fire guided and unguided projectiles up to 42 km (26.1 miles). Firing ballistic missiles, (such as the U.S. Army Tactical Missile System —ATACMS), it can hit targets 300 km (186 miles) away; the warhead in such shots reaches an altitude of about 50 km (164,000 ft). The M270 can be used in shoot-and-scoot tactics, firing its rockets rapidly, then moving away to avoid counter-battery fire.MLRS was developed jointly by the United Kingdom, United States, Germany, and France. It was developed from the older General Support Rocket System (GSRS).The rockets and ATACMS missiles are contained in interchangeable pods. Each pod contains six standard rockets or one guided ATACMS missile; the two types cannot be mixed. The launcher can hold two pods at a time, which it loads using an integrated crane. All twelve rockets or two ATACMS missiles can be fired in under a minute. One launcher firing twelve rockets can completely blanket one square kilometer with submunitions. For this reason, the MLRS is sometimes referred to as the "Grid Square Removal Service" (metric maps are usually divided up into 1 km grids). The U.S. Army is currently working on developing and fielding unitary (one large warhead instead of submunitions) rocket and ATACMS variants, as well as a guided rocket.In 2006, MLRS was upgraded to fire guided rounds. Phase I testing of a guided unitary round (XM31) was completed on an accelerated schedule in March 2006. Due to an Urgent Need Statement the guided unitary round has already been fielded and used in action in Iraq. 12.5" Length 5.5" Width 4" Height
