Journal Title: Challenges and Issues of Modern Science - Year 2024, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
Purpose. The article examines the evolution of multiple launch rocket systems, from early projectiles to HIMARS, and explores their future development. It focuses on HIMARS' technical advantages and its impact on combat tactics. Design / Method / Approach. The study relies on open-source data, including official reports and news on HIMARS use. Methods include analyzing precision strike effectiveness, tactical outcomes, and strategic impact through comparative analysis of different missile types in combat. Findings. Key aspects include the development of accuracy and range, the shift to precision weapons, and the impact on battlefield dynamics. HIMARS has enhanced mobility and adaptability. Theoretical Implications. This study contributes to the theoretical understanding of MLRS in modern warfare, with a specific focus on HIMARS’ evolving role in shaping new military tactics and its integration into contemporary combat doctrine. It enhances the knowledge base on precision artillery systems and their operational effectiveness. Practical Implications. The article offers recommendations for military analysts on using HIMARS and selecting appropriate missiles for combat scenarios. Originality / Value. This work provides an original analysis of the evolution of MLRS, offering a unique perspective on the technological and tactical advancements embodied in HIMARS. It serves as a valuable resource for military experts, defense analysts, and researchers interested in understanding the development of modern artillery systems and their role in future warfare. Research Limitations / Future Research. The study is based on open-source data, which may limit the scope of analysis and exclude classified information that could provide a more comprehensive view. Future research could include in-depth evaluations of missile effectiveness, long-term operational data, and HIMARS’ ongoing impact on global military strategies. Paper Type. Discussion Paper.
