Israel is developing an easy ramp system on the Humvee platform
The Israeli company IMI Systems develops multiple-launch systems based on the light self-propelled Humvee platform with a range of 35 km to equip special forces
MLRS is equipped with 122 mm rockets (8 missiles are deployed on the PU or 4 in the ultra lightweight), the mass of the missile's combat part is 20 kg.
At the rear of the car will be installed a rotary support with drives, carrying four launch tubes with missiles, which can be guided from the cabin or remotely. The maximum range of the missiles is 40 km; The new system can accept high-precision missiles, for example, missiles with the correction of the trajectory ACCULAR from the company IMI.
The ACCULAR rocket has an inertial GPS Tracking Correction System (GPS) and an engine control kit, which, according to IMI, provide a 10-meter circular deviation (CWO).
It is noted that this missile system will be very useful for spetsnaz forces, which are in deep enemy lines and can not enjoy the support of the artillery of the ground forces. Transportation of this MLRS is possible on the C-130 aircraft.

At the MILEX 2017, Belarus presented a new version of the Polonaise type rocket with a "Military Parity" with a reference to defense-blog.com. It became known that the "Precision Electromechanics Plant" (Dzerzhinsk) is working on the creation of a new tactical missile with a range of 280 kilometers. According to official data, the missile has a warhead weighing 480 kg compared to 150 kg in a standard 300 mm rocket.
