105mm Light Gun

The versatile 105 mm Light Gun is used by the Parachute and Commando Field Artillery Regiments of the British Army. The Light Gun can be towed by a medium-weight vehicle (such as a Pinzgauer TUM/HD or Hagglund BV206 all-terrain vehicle) or carried around the battlefield under slung by a Puma or Chinook helicopter.
Royal Artillery L118 Light Guns are fitted with an Automatic Pointing System, which enables the gun to be unlimbered and in action in 30 seconds. APS is based on an inertial navigation system; operated via a touch screen, it replaces the traditional dial sight. New Light Gun ammunition is in development, with an increasingly lethal round and an extended range

MULTIPLE LAUNCH ROCKET SYSTEM (MLRS)

The MLRS is a general support weapon designed to launch rockets with a large payload at a high rate of fire. The system is capable of firing its 12 rockets singularly, or in ripples to saturate an area with sub-munitions. The launcher is fully computerised and incorporates an Automatic Laying System (ALS) and Inertial Navigation System (INS). The launcher is capable of moving from the line of march (mobile), onto a firing platform, engaging target(s) with all 12 rockets and being mobile again in under three minutes. The MLRS is currently in service with 39 Regt RA and 101 Regt RA (V). The deployment of MLRS during both Gulf wars highlighted its full capability

Starstreak HVM

 The Starstreak HVM (High Velocity Missile) is designed to counter threats from very high performance, low-flying aircraft and fast 'pop up’ strikes by helicopter attacks. The missile, which travels at more than three times the speed of sound, uses a system of three dart-like projectiles, allowing multiple hits on the target. HVM can be fired from the shoulder, from a lightweight multiple launcher of from the Stormer armoured vehicle, which is equipped with an eight-round launcher and carries another 12 missiles inside the vehicle

Rapier FSC is a technologically advanced Short Range Air Defence System (SHORAD). It is a 24 hour, all weather guided weapon system with a primary role of providing limited
area Air Defence (AD) cover against fixed wing aircraft, helicopters, Unmanned Air Vehicles (UAV), and cruise missiles. It has the capability of engaging two targets at once. Rapier FSC is compact, mobile and air portable, making it suitable for worldwide operations. The four main components are the Launcher, Active Surveillance Radar, Tracker Radar and Command and Control Units
