LAROM

The Romanian Army has contracted Aerostar SA of Bacau to upgrade 18 of its 40 APRA 122mm FMC multiple-rocket launcher (MRL) fire units to a new configuration called LAROM, with a view to upgrading all 160 systems in its inventory with it, reveals the report.

The upgrade allows the use of LAR-160mm rockets as well as the current 122mm Russian-designed rockets. The new 160mm rocket doubles the range to 41km and, according to Aerostar, offers superior firepower against personnel, vehicles and shelters. Other enhancements include a modern automated fire-control system and the option for guided rockets.
