Hi
The A-100 is the 300mm, 10-tube multiple launch rocket system developed by Beijing-based China Academy of Launch Vehicle Technology (CALT, also known as 1st Space Academy) for the PLA ground forces. In many aspects, the system is very similar to the Russian Smerch 9K58 300mm rocket system. Its rocket is fitted with a primitive guidance system for greater accuracy

It is a copy.

 

[maverick1977]

it is one of the most powerful rocket launcher in the world, it is slated to have a range of more than 120kms, but chinese sites are saying otherwise......... .. here is more on it from Chinese defence sites



"""
The PHL03 (Type 03, also known as AR2 in its export name) is the 12-tube 300mm multiple launch rocket system (MLRS) developed by NORINCO. The PHL03 highly resembles the Russian 9K58 Smerch rocket system in appearance. China Academy of Launch Vehicle (CALT) introduced the A-100 10-tube 300mm MLRS in the late 1990s, which may also be based on the Smerch technology. The PHL03 is believed to have entered the PLA service in 2004/05 and is likely to be promoted to the export market.

The PHL03 launch vehicle is based on a 8X8 wheeled chassis, with twelve launch tubes mounted on it. The tubes are arranged as two blocks of four with a single row of four above. The launcher has a crew of four and is capable of single or salvo firing. A transloader based on the same wheeled chassis carries an additional 12 rockets. The transloader provides for mechanised loading of the launch vehicle, by means of a hydraulic crane mounted on the vehicle.

The PHL03 fires 300mm rocket powered by a solid propellant (possibly HTTB) rocket motor. Its maximum firing range was said to be 150km. No detailed information on the types of warheads is available but they are expected to include HE-FRAG (High Explosive Fragmentation) anti-armour/personnel submunitions similar to that of the Smerch.
