The
Jobaria Company of United Arab Emirates has designed a new concept of
artillery system which is presented for the first time at IDEX 2013, defence
exhibition in Abu Dhabi, UAE. The JDS
Multiple Cradle Launcher (MCL) is a 6x6 tractor truck with
semi-trailer armed with four power-operated rocket launchers. Each rocket
launcher has three blocks of 20 122 or 107 mm launcher tubes, in four
lines. |

The
JDS MCL is a Multiple Cradle Launcher used for close
fire support as well as striking and suppressing hostile targets. The
launcher can serve multiple purposes in modern warfare and is able to
attack with high volume fire power. The launcher can engage any targets
by using 240 x 122 or 107 mm rockets from a distance of 16 km to 40 km
accurately.
The launcher is deployed in an autonomous role and with own on-board Launcher Command Post, navigation system and accurate laying system, engages targets within this range. The launcher has an acceptable cross country capability, due to a high mobility wheeled tractor vehicle. The launcher has its own dedicated support vehicle. The ammunition is of pod technology for rapid and easy employment. The JDS MCL is an advanced rocket system characterized by high volume application, easy operation and crew maintenance, with a crew of only three. It is therefore an internationally advanced ultra-modern weapon system. The JDS MCL is a requirement of artillery from United Arab Emirates armed forces to put one battery of artillery rocket launcher to one vehicle, and replace six vehicles to do the same missions. Another advantage is the number of soldiers to operate the vehicle, only three in place of 40 for the same fire power. The system is completely manufactured in the United Arab Emirates, the truck is supply by Oshkosh, but the cabin is a local design and provides a protection against firing of small arms. |
