LAR - 160 The LAR - 160 is a light artillery rocket ( hence " LAR " ) with a 160mm calibre , a minimum range of 12 km and a maximum range of 45 km , from a multiple rocket launcher . Each standard launcher holds two 13 rocket Launch Pod Containers ( LPC ' s ) , 18 rocket LPC ' s are also manufactured . A light version is also manufactured which can be carried by helicopters and towed behind vehicles such as a HMMWV . Development . The LAR - 160 was designed in the late 1970s by Israel Military Industries , it was adopted by the Israeli Defense Forces in 1983 Armament . The LAR - 160s rocket has undergone continuous development and has resulted in the Mk . I , Mk . II and Mk . IV rockets . Mk . I Rocket . The Mk . I rocket is 3 . 4m long and has a diameter of 160mm fueled by solid propellant . The Mk . I is 100 kg and has a 40 kg HE - COFRAM warhead which is activated by an impact fuze or proximity fuze . The Mk . 1 was first used by the Venezuelan Army on an AMX - 13 hull . Mk . II Rocket . The Mk . II rocket weighs 110 kg and has a 46 kg warhead which is either HE - COFRAM or a cluster warhead containing 104 CL - 3022 - S4 AP / AM submunitions . A remotely set electronic fuze opens the canister at the appropriate height to give area coverage of about 31 , 400 m2 . All 26 rockets can be fired in under 60 seconds and re - loaded in under five minutes from a conventional truck with a 15 t / m crane . Launcher . The LAR - 160 incorporates a modern command , control , communications and intelligence system called ACCS , which has a total interface capability to all common artillery elements including meteorological unit , forward observers as well as mapping , GPS and other items . Elevation and traverse of the launchers are performed by an electrohydraulic system , which is backed up by a manual system . When the system is fitted on a wheeled chassis , two hydraulically operated stabilisers are lowered to the ground to provide a more stable firing platform . Service History . The system was used extensively by the Georgian Army against Russian and South Ossetian Forces in the 2008 South Ossetia War . Romania uses a domestic version of the LAR - 160 , called LAROM and Argentina uses a domestic version as well called .

Royal Aircraft Factory N . E . 1 The Royal Aircraft Factory N . E . 1 was a prototype British Night fighter of the First World War . A single - engined pusher biplane , it was a development of the Royal Aircraft Factory ' s earlier F . E . 9 fighter , but was not successful , only six being built . Development and design . In 1917 , the British Royal Aircraft Factory started design of a night fighter development of its F . E . 9 , the F . E . 12 . This used the tailbooms , undercarriage and wing centre - sections of the F . E . 9 , combining them with new , three - bay outer wings and a larger tailplane . It was to be armed with a shell firing gun and equipped with two searchlights . The design was revised to produce the N . E . 1 ( for Night - flying Experimental ) , with revised wings , new tailbooms and a new , wide track , undercarriage . The first prototype N . E . 1 flew on 8 September 1917 . It was fitted with a single searchlight in the nose , and with the pilot and gunner sat in tandem , with the pilot seated in front to give a good view . The gunner was to be armed with a 1 . 59 - inch ( 40 - mm ) Breech - Loading Vickers Q . F . Gun , Mk II — widely known as the " Vickers - Crayford rocket gun , " although it had no rocket - launching capability — or a 1½ lb COW gun , and a radio was fitted . It was powered by a 200 hp ( 149 kW ) Hispano - Suiza 8 engine in a pusher configuration driving a four - bladed propeller . Its three - bay equal span wings were fitted with ailerons on both upper and lower wings , while the elevators had large horn balances ( the amount of control surface forward of the hinge ) . The first prototype crashed on 14 September 1917 , and was rebuilt with a new nacelle with the searchlight removed , and the gunner , who was armed with a 1 . 59 - inch ( 40 - mm ) Breech - Loading Vickers Q . F . Gun , Mk II , moved ahead of the pilot . A fixed Lewis gun was mounted externally on the starboard side of the fuselage , to be operated by the pilot . It reflew in this form on 4 October 1917 . Although testing indicated that the N . E . 1 was easy to fly and land , and had excellent field of fire for the gunner , the official test report noted " It is doubtful if the performance of this machine is good enough to make it suitable as a night fighter " . Despite this , all six prototypes were completed , with the second prototype being sent to No . 78 Squadron , while several of the other aircraft were used for trials .
