The AR3 – seen here with two four-round rocket pods – is based on an 8 x 8 chassis. (NORINCO)Article ToolsFull Article for Subscribers



A new AR3 Multiple Launch Rocket System able to fire guided and unguided 300 mm rockets and a new 370 mm calibre guided rocket is being marketed by China North Industries Corporation (NORINCO).

Designed for deployment at battalion or battery level, the AR3 can also be operated as a stand-alone single launcher. Reaction time is 20 seconds at battalion level or 15 seconds at battery level.

According to NORINCO, it features an advanced meteorological survey system, command-and-control system and support system, as well as a high degree of automation, but no details were given. Company documentation cites a laying accuracy of 1 mil and a circular error probable of less than 50 m.
