Deterrent Force

The system is a deterrent force due to its long range and mass fire capabilities. It can therefore perform vital tasks in a wide range of missions from peace keeping, defence and to attack operations for the support of a maneuvering force.

Shoot and Scoot Capability

The Launcher perfectly performs “shoot and scoot” with its inertial and global navigation and automatic aiming systems.
• Capability to fire within 5 minutes after deploying
• Capability to displace in 5 minutes after firing
• Capability to carry out multiple firing missions in a short period of time

High Mobility

The Launcher Vehicle is a 6×6 or 8×8 tactical wheeled vehicle, which provides superior on-road and off-road travel capability. Its compact and robust structure provides a reliable launching platform.

High Survivability

The system provides high survivability on the battlefield with its quick aiming and displacement capability, shoot and scoot ability, high mobility and secure digital & voice communication system.

Transportability

The system can be transported by land, air, sea and railways.

It is transportable by almost all types of cargo planes.

Minimum Crew

Due to the fully automatic weapon control, navigation and laying systems, the MCL has a crew of just two, consisting of a commander and a driver. However, the crew number can be increased according to the user’s needs.

Flexibility

The flexibility of the MCL makes it a very important fire support asset. The multi-caliber launch, variety of amunitions, the organizational structure and transportability are the main capabilities in addition to the other capabilities mentioned above to provide and enhance the flexibility of the MCL. The multi-caliber launch and variety of munitions give fire support planners flexibility for the fire planning to support maneuvering forces. The MCL organizational structure and modern sub- systems allow assignment of tactical missions down to platoon
or section level if required. In addition to the 122 mm, 230 mm, 300 mm and 610 mm missiles, the MCL is able to fire rockets and guided munitions of the future due to its flexible and modular structure. The MCL platform is a 6×6 or 8×8 tactical wheeled vehicle whose brand and models are chosen according to the customer’s logistical
infra-structure and demand. It is equipped with the necessary mechanical, electrical and electronic sub-systems to perform various steps required (mission planning, deployment, ballistic calculation, laying etc.) in order to
conduct a firing mission. The MCL system can be customized in different versions, which have different sub-systems including platform (vehicles), radios, power sources, navigation system etc., in various brands and models according to the user’s logistical infra-structure and needs.

Sealed Pod

The MCL is a launching platform with superior fire power that can fire 40 rounds 122 mm rockets / missiles or 12 rounds 230 mm missiles or 4 rounds 300 mm missiles or 1 round 610 mm missile. It uses sealed and thermal insulated rocket pods with minimum reloading time and maximum protection against adverse environmental conditions for munitions.

Multi Caliber Launch

The MCL Launcher has the capability to launch 122 mm, 230 mm, 300 mm and 610 mm missiles, giving the MCL units the capability to cover the target area from three kilometers up to more than 280 kilometers in range.
