context_page_description: A multiple rocket launcher or multiple launch rocket system is a type of rocket artillery system that contains multiple barrels. Rockets have different capabilities than conventional artillery munitions, such as longer range and different payloads, typically considerably larger warheads than a similarly sized artillery platform or multiple warheads.
  Unguided rocket artillery is notoriously inaccurate and slow to reload compared to artillery. A multiple rocket launcher helps compensate for this with its ability to launch multiple rockets simultaneously and a greater rate of fire.
  Modern rockets can use GPS or inertial guidance to combine the advantages of rockets with high accuracy.
