It uses solid propellant and is 13 feet (4.0 m) long and 24 inches (610 mm) in diameter, and the longest-range variants can fly up to 190 miles (300 km). [9] The missiles can be fired from the tracked M270 Multiple Launch Rocket System (MLRS) and the wheeled M142 High Mobility Artillery Rocket System (HIMARS).
The battalion is stationed at Camp Foster, Okinawa, Japan, and its primary weapon systems are the M777 lightweight howitzer with a maximum effective range of 30 km, along with the M142 High Mobility Artillery Rocket System (HIMARS).

Maximum speed 100 kilometres per hour (62 mph) [ 1 ] The Global Mobile Artillery Rocket System (GMARS, / ˈ ɡ m ɑːr z / ) is a wheeled multiple rocket launcher built and designed by Rheinmetall and Lockheed Martin , with them first partnering up in 2023.
In 2009 the US Army test fired the SL-AMRAAM from a HIMARS artillery rocket launcher as a common launcher, as part of a move to switch to a larger and more survivable launch platform. [ 3 ] [ 4 ] Since the missile is launched without the benefit of an aircraft's speed or high altitude, its range is considerably shorter.
The Remote Anti-Armor Mine System (RAAMS) are two types of 155 mm howitzer projectiles containing nine anti-tank mines each. They were developed for the United States Army around 1980.
The maximum range is 50 km for the 122 mm rocket and 70 km for the 220 mm rocket. First unveiled in IDEX 2017 mounted on a 6x6 assault vehicle (presumably Dongfeng Mengshi). [8] PHL-20 Designation of SR-7 in PLAGF service. [9] PHL-21
