A multiple launch rocket system (MLRS) is a type of rocket artillery system that contains multiple launchers which are fixed to a single platform, and shoots its rocket ordnance in a fashion similar to a volley gun.
The North Korean Academy of Defense Science has developed a new guided shell and control system for multiple launch rocket systems, North Korean state-run news agency KCNA reported on Monday.
The academy has already conducted test firing of 240 mm shells to assess their accuracy, the report said.
