| Source measurement | The United Arab Emirates Army made a request for a rocket artillery battery to be mounted on one vehicle, since the army is using six vehicles, most likely BM-21 Grad , and 30 soldiers to do the same. Due to the small number of military personnel of the United Arab Emirates Army, the Multiple Cradle Launcher has an advantage over the use of six vehicles which require a team of 30 men, whereas the Multiple Cradle Launcher only needs a team of three to operate and launching the same number of rockets (240). It has four rocket launchers attached to the trailer each carrying sixty 122mm rockets. The system fires ROKETSAN 122mm T-122 Sakarya rockets fitted with a high-explosive warhead that can be detonated by using either a point detonating fuze or by a proximity fuze. The operator of the system can choose how many and which pods he fires. All rockets can be fired in under two minutes, making the rate of fire 2 rounds per second.[source]Jobaria Defense Systems Multiple Cradle Launcher · Design rationale; only the objects and conditions stated in this passage After launching the rockets the system can relocate and continue firing rockets if it had not launched its entire payload or if it had, then be rearmed by a support vehicle in about 30 minutes. The support vehicle has two cranes each reloading two pods of the system.[source]Jobaria Defense Systems Multiple Cradle Launcher · Design rationale; only the objects and conditions stated in this passage ROKETSAN also developed a Rocket Launcher, which fires both 107mm and 122mm rockets from the same Launcher, making it a Multi-Calibre, Multiple Rocket Launcher.[source]Jobaria Defense Systems Multiple Cradle Launcher · Variants; only the objects and conditions stated in this passage In February 2017, Al Jaber unveiled its Jobaria TCL (Twin Cradle Launcher) heavy rocket artillery system. Based on the Multiple Cradle Rocket Launcher, it fires 300 mm rockets from two four-rocket launchers; the system can fire either the Chinese A300 from 120–290 km (75–180 mi) or the Turkish T-300 Kasirga (Tiger) from 30–120 km (19–75 mi). The TCL has a reduced trailer length of 21 m (69 ft).[source]Jobaria Defense Systems Multiple Cradle Launcher · Variants; only the objects and conditions stated in this passage | — |
