Title: Current MLRS Family of Munitions (MFOM)
Dialogue: MLRS munitions currently in service are the M26 and M28/28A1 practice rockets, and the AT-2 Rocket (Scatterable Mines: Great Britain and Germany only). Major components of the rocket assembly include four stabilizer fins, a propulsion section and a warhead section. The MLRS rockets are tube-launched, spin stabilized, free flight projectiles. The MLRS rocket follows a ballistic, unguided trajectory to the target. The propulsion provided by the rocket motor is the same for each rocket, so rocket range is a function of LLM elevation. The four stabilizer fins at the aft end of the rocket provide in flight stability by maintaining a counter clockwise spin. Initial spin is imparted to the rocket through spin rails mounted on the inner wall of the launch tube.
