ARCA’s 122 mm rocket family
122 mm is the world’s most common calibre for multiple-launch rocket systems (MLRS). ARCA offers three products here: high-explosive rockets in two range classes and the AR-1071 Malazgirt. Rockets complement tube artillery by saturating a wide area in a single salvo.
| Product | Class | Range (approx.) | Role |
|---|---|---|---|
| 122 mm HE 20 km | High-explosive | ~20 km class | Short-medium range fire |
| 122 mm HE 40 km | HE, extended range | ~40 km class | Long range |
| 122 mm AR-1071 Malazgirt | High-explosive | ~20 km class | MLRS missions |
What a 122 mm rocket does
122 mm rockets are fired in salvoes from MLRS launchers. They are typically less precise than gun-fired shells, but their ability to deliver intense fire quickly makes them effective against area targets, complementing tube artillery.
Range and variants
ARCA’s catalogue includes high-explosive rockets in the 20 km and 40 km classes. Range is set mainly by motor thrust, aerodynamics and launch angle. This page offers only general information — no rocket-motor or warhead manufacturing detail.
