Armament

The rockets launcher system is mounted at the rear of a wheeled truck chassis with four tubes in two lines. The four-round launcher is mounted on a turntable at the rear of the chassis and has powered traverse and elevation. In firing position, four hydraulically operated stabilisers are lowered to the ground; these are positioned one either side at the rear of the truck and one to each side of the chassis near the cabin crew.

Rockets
The rocket used by the WS-1 is 4.7 meters in length, weighs approx. 524 kg and is provided with 150 kg of cluster munitions to take out a variety of targets such as fortifications, infrastructure, armored vehicles, etc. The WS-1 is powered by a solid rocket motor flies at Mach 3.6 and has a minimum range of 30 kilometers. Four types of warhead can be fitted on the WS-1 rocket: blast fragmentation, incendiary blast fragmentation, fuel air explosive and anti-personnel & armor-piercing dual-purpose. The ZDB-2 blasting warhead is loaded with steel balls and prefabricated fragments. The SZB-1 submunition warhead is designed to destroy large area targets such as armour formation and infantry troops. When the SZB-1 submunition warhead detonates, around 500 bullets are expelled under high pressure.
Mobility
The four-tube launcher is carried on a Mercedes-Benz 6x6 truck chassis which is maunfactured under license in China by China North Industries Corporation. To the immediate rear of the cab is a fully enclosed cabin for additional crew members. The WS-1 can also use the MF-4 launch truck which is based on a Chinese indigenous 6X6 truck chassis. The HF-4 launch truck is based on the more capable Tiema XC2200 6X6 truck.
Accessories
The WS-1 truck is equipped with a digital computer system which provides fire direction and positioning to give the system an accuracy of 1% of the range to the target.
