HIMARS is a highly-mobile artillery rocket system offering the firepower of MLRS on a wheeled chassis. It carries a single six-pack of rockets on the Army's family of medium tactical vehicles.
The purpose of the system is to engage and defeat artillery, air defense concentrations, trucks, light armor and personnel carriers, as well as support troop and supply concentrations. HIMARS is able to launch its weapons and move away from the area at high speeds before enemy forces are able to locate the launch site, according to Army-technology.com.
HIMARS is operated by a crew of three - driver, gunner and section chief - but the computer-based fire control system enables a crew of two or even a single Soldier to load and unload the system. The fire control system includes video, keyboard control, a gigabyte of program storage and a global positioning system. The fire control computer allows firing missions to be carried out in an automatic or manual mode.http://www.apacheclips.com/boards/vbtube/images/play_thread.png (http://www.apacheclips.com/boards/vbtube_show.php?tubeid=880)
