In this Content we will talk about the HIMARS rocket system.

The design and specification of the missile and most importantly how the precision missile works in coordination with the F35 fighter jets.

Developed for the American Army in the late nineteen ninety's the M142 High Mobility Artillery Rocket System (HIMARS) is a light multiple rocket launcher that is installed on a family of medium tactical vehicle.

The HIMARS is a lighter version of the M270 and the solution is a fielded, combat tested, highly reliable system that has surpassed all performance standards.

The HIMARS is made up of a carrier, the automobile section called the M1140 truck frame and a Fire Control System (FCS) that computes all fire mission data, and a Launcher-Loader Module LLM portion that executes all fire mission-related tasks.

The HIMARS vehicle has a length of 23 feet/ 7 meter with a width of 7 feet 10 inches (2.4 meter) and it has a height of 10 feet 6 inches.

The vehicle weighs approximately 10,886 kilogram (24,000lb) Which is pretty light for a rocket launcher carrier.

1) verdebusterAP (replied to a question) from Celestial Existence

How gps signals can be received when the missile travels at Mach 3 moreover the gps is inaccurate when the object is moving ?

Answer:
The missile use what's called inertial navigation system (INS) INS uses a combination of various factor to get the missile to target
GPS refines the targeting data so the missile is much more accurate
Thanks to advances in technology, INS is far far more accurate
Again also thanks to GPS-jammers, the US developed newer sensors to counter jamming
Example
Circular error probable (CEP), basically how weapons accuracy is measured with out GPS is 200-300 meters
GPS can reduces CEP to about 10 meters or less
In case GPS is jammed, the newer sensors developed can achieve a CEP of 30-50 meters
Lastly, to use HIMARS missiles against a moving target, it would have to be a very high value target or asset
Its called predicted none line of sight
Basically, a forward observer provides the target course and speed
They take the target speed and combine with the missile speed which depends on how far the missile has to travel and come up with point of impact
Based on target speed of 40 mph, it will reach this point in 1 min 12 second
They designed that point and fire
The M30/31 have 200lbs warhead so it does not have to be direct hit
They don't use this method unless its absolutely necessary

Let me try. How GPS signals can be received when the missile travels at Mach? 3? I do not know, but my telephone can accurately gauge me driving at 100 miles an hour. And that's with music streaming. High performance military systems and in particular those using the military GPS signal presumably have higher performance capabilities. I would think that the designers were aware that they would be dealing with entities traveling at high speeds. Do you assert a performance limitation of GPS in vehicles traveling at a certain speed?

You ask a second question about inaccurate GPS on a moving object. Either It's the same question as the first, or you mean that GMLRS doesn't have a seeker. Maybe they could put one of those in the nose of this thing where they have the extra space.

Meanwhile, aside from volley fire by dead reckoning, which I believe our host states is current practice, if you have somebody steadily designating it, I don't know, but it might be able to receive GPS updates in flight. That would be interesting to note in a later update.

Anyway, that was never in its brief. But we love to stick more gadgets on everything so I'm sure the D variant will have a trimode unit for another mil ;-)

Third verse, same as the first. Military signal is more jam-resistant, military hardware is more jam-resistant.

As a former 13M (multiple launch rocket system operator) The m270A1 is much faster over ruff terrain than the m1083 truck that himars is based on. it accelerates faster as well because 1083 trucks have very bad acceleration. Tracks over any other surface besides paved roads are aloso superior.


4)" Hypersonic Hobo "

(Well explained regarding the efficiency between HIMARS vs M270A)

At the ranges HIMARS plays at you almost never need to leave the road unless there are just no roads, so functionally it will almost always be faster than the M270 in a European theater.

What it loses in a rocket pod it gains in mobility, far easier maintainability (wheels beat tracks on maintenance every day of the week) and fuel consumption. These aren't the sexy aspects of warfare but an army marches on it's stomach.

In the era of GPS guidance where one rocket can take out almost any target if you are using HIMARS as a strategic bomber as Ukraine is against depot's and HQ's you won't feel the loss of a rocket pod as much but you will appreciate how easy it is to care for and how unbelievably fast it is.

Military vehicles being primarily tracked ones when you talk about road speed limits. And at a theatre scale 20 kph adds up fast it will take 4 hours to drive what the Himars can in 3, that can add up to multiple extra launches per day.

0:44, for those not measuring speed with animation A>B, the M270 has a speed of 40 mph (64.4 km/h), M142 HIMARS has a top speed of 53 mph (85 km/h).

Finally a channel that can explain these military systems in such simple yet detailed way! Amazing stuff, keep it up!

[shaoful]

Khersonian here. Saw the results of the Himars GMLRS strikes. Deadly and VERY precise. The amount of collateral damage is lowest as possible. God bless America! Thank you for the HIMARS, guys!

[godfreyhamshire]

Hi I enjoyed your animations, fascinating and informative. I would really appreciate more please. I learned a lot from these especially those items currently in the news not forgetting the Panzer III. Regards.

[mark]

Now I understand, thanks for posting a clear and simple explanation.

[Ggtg]

Seriously you're so underrated channel.. This channel deserve millions of subscribers..

[ZekeDlyoung]

1:54 That Brotherhood of Nod C130 tho 👀

[gm]

1st time here and this video was put together perfectly Thank You. Great Job

[mehryar.]

I love the NOD logo on the C130 from Tiberian sun universe.
It probably flies above everyone's heads here.

[eyeaneye]

Awesome vid, y’all just earned another subscriber!

[ponyhiccup]

Mine arrived yesterday! Little problem with the data display but it still its awesome! 👍

[MrLemonbaby]

Incredibly well done!! Well thought out concise delivery. Consider the area of education for future expansion wherein you would develop a module to help out in difficult to understand areas. Or maybe you would create a module of a large company's IT layout as an introduction to newly hired employees.

[napeekapunpimtongnara]

I think the future of the Himars will definitely have a more advanced ia. It looks smart and looks like a moving robot that has been around for a very long time.

[thebutcher]

Amazing 3d animation and thanks for the video of the panzer 3 im waiting for panzer 4 and please put all versions about them and yes im subscribing for more videos

[TheIndicLaw]

in-depth research
brilliant demonstration via animation
fantastic stuff!

[caseyalexander]

Yay…. Everyone gets to test new weapons. Definitely separates what’s good on paper to what actually works in wartime conditions.

[josephpacchetti]

Concise and comprehensive, And excellent description of this system, I'm usually not crazy about animation, However this being 3-D, is very cool, My Father {R.I.P.} worked for the U.S. Army Missile Command for 30 years, After graduating high school, I went to work for Raytheon Missile Systems, Like Father like son, Thanks A.T. 👍 🇺🇸

[eddiepadilla]

Hi tally! Thanks for the info. It was very entertaining and informative.
