The South Korean Agency for Defence Development has confirmed it is developing a multiple rocket launcher (MRL), with the first prototype expected in 2013. According to officials of South Korea's Defence Acquisition Program Administration, the locally developed MRL will have a range of 80 km and will boost the artillery capability of the South Korean Army. No details of the calibre, type of rocket or warhead it will launch have been released, nor whether it will be based on a tracked or wheeled chassis. MRLs have seen a trend towards the fielding of guided rockets for more precise targeting.
