Army Tactical Missile System (ATACMS)
The Army Tactical Missile System (ATACMS) is a surface-to-surface missile system used by the United States Army. It is designed to strike targets at long ranges, typically between 70 to 300 kilometers, providing precision targeting capabilities. The ATACMS can be launched from various platforms, including the M270 Multiple Launch Rocket System and the M142 High Mobility Artillery Rocket System (HIMARS).
ATACMS missiles are equipped with advanced guidance systems, allowing them to hit specific targets with high accuracy. They can carry different types of warheads, including unitary and cluster munitions, making them versatile for various combat scenarios. The system enhances the Army's ability to conduct deep strikes against enemy forces and infrastructure.
