TOROS Top u Roket Sistemi ArtilleryRocket System is a Turkey Turkish artilleryrocket system, that has been developed in both 230 and 260 millimeter calibres. The system was developed by http www.sage.tubitak.gov.tr SAGE , and is used by the Turkish Army. The larger calibre rockets have a maximum range of 110 kilometers deliver a 145 kilogram high explosive fragmentation warhead containing 30,000 steel balls. The system consists of four vehicles Launcher vehicle 6 6 Logistics vehicle 6 6 Maintenance vehicle 6 6 Fire Command Control vehicle 4 4 Description The 230 millimeter calibre system consists of six TOROS 230 unguided medium range rocket s in a disposable launcher pod. The 260 millimeter calibre system consists of four TOROS 260 rockets in a disposable launcher pod. The launcher vehicle is designed to accept two TOROS 230 or TOROS 260 launcher pods. Both rockets use an HTPB AP solid propellent, and are stabilised in flight by four wrap around fins. Sabots are fitted to the front of the rocket which fall away shortly after launch. Both rockets use a fin detent system to reduce wind dispersion, and are reported as having a dispersion of between one and two percent of their range. A variety of warheads have been proposed for the system including the basic blast fragmentation warhead, an electronic warfare warhead and a bunker busting warhead. The launcher pods and advanced fire control system enable fast supply, loading, unloading, positioning and orientation operations. The unloading and reloading operations for two launch pods can be completed in less than twelve minutes.
