The LandStrike Ground Strike Tactical Missile (LS) family of the multiple launch rocket systems was developed by Anderton Aerospace Industry Corporation (a subsidiary of Atok Aerospace). The free rocket used by the LS-1 and LS-1B consists of the warhead and fuse, an AAIC-42/43 rocket motor and the tail section. The AAIC-42/43 rocket motor is a single chamber, solid rocket motor with an advanced hydroxy-terminated polybutadiene (HTPB) composition rocket propellant. The rocket of the LS-2 system features four control surfaces in the middle section of the rocket for terminal guidance.
The rocket can be fitted with various types of warheads including anti-armour/personnel submunition, blasting, fuel air explosive (FAE), and high-explosive (HE). The AAIC-W-2 blasting warhead is loaded with steel balls and prefabricated fragments. The AAIC-H-1 submunition warhead is designed to destroy large area targets such as armor formation and infantry troops. When the AAIC-H-1 submunition warhead detonates, around 500 bullets are expelled under high pressure. The launch tubes have an elevation range of 0° to 60° and azimuth range of -30° to +30°. The weapon is fitted with 6 box-shape launchers and fires 400mm rockets to a maximum range of 200km to 500km. The McRoy MR-28G truck is equipped with four hydraulically operated stabilizers which are lowered in preparation for the rocket launch.
Battery setup price: $400 million
