ROM - LAROM

LAROM

Rocket launcher modernization APR-40 (Russian GRAD installed on Romanian chassis ) built on the basis of a Romanian truck DAC 665T.
LAROM was established in cooperation with the Romanian Ministry of Defense and Aerostar, Israel Military Industries and ROMTEHNICA R.A.
Compared to its predecessor, the hydraulics and stabilization of the rocket launcher were improved and the fire control system was further modernized. LAROM can launch both the original Soviet missiles GRAD 122 mm caliber, as well as new LAR 160 mm projectiles developed by IMI. When using LAR Mk.4 missiles, the range is 45 km. LAROM can fire 40 missiles GRAD in 20 seconds or 26 LAR missiles in 45 seconds.
The crew consists of five people.

LAROM is mounted on a Roman DAC 25.360 DFAEG6x6 chassis.
After some experience with the ARP 40, in 2000 the possibility of installing the LAR -160 rocket launcher on Romanian trucks was agreed with IMI. The Israelis use a modular system for the rocket launcher set, so they decided to modify the launch mount and bed of the BM-21 Grad rocket launcher manufactured in Romania.
In order to make the rocket launcher logistically easy to supply ammunition, the system was adapted to be carried and rearmed, always by a pair of modular launchers. For LAR-160 2 modules of 13 main marked at trade fairs as LAROM-160, for BM-21 2 tubes of 20 main arrangements (5x4) marked as LAROM. This solution allows systems to be recharged within 10 minutes. Serial production since 2002, a total of 24 vehicles have been produced.
