[[Imperial class Artillery Vehicle (Multiple Rocket)|These vehicles]] are part of the [[Imperial class Grav APC family]].

The [[Imperial class Artillery Vehicle (Multiple Rocket)|MRLAV]] is the vehicle that provides the [[Imperial Army]] or [[Imperial Marines]] their standard area-saturation [[Artillery]] weapon. By ripple firing all 20 barrels, a single [[Imperial class Artillery Vehicle (Multiple Rocket)|MRLAV]] is able to lay fire over an area 2km across up to 650km from the launch point. With its integral auto-loader, the [[Imperial class Artillery Vehicle (Multiple Rocket)|MRLAV]] can reload in only 5 minutes. Thus a single units could lay fire over nearly 40 square km in under an hour. In a high-threat environment this figure would be reduced by the need to displace to a new firing position after each salvo, but given the vehicle's speed, this reduces this capability by only 50%.

The EMS guidance of these rockets allows them to be designated by any laser, radar or active EMS system, which allows a very high first-round-hit probability. The rockets may also be fired using normal indirect fire procedures, but given the capability of EMS target designation this method is wasteful and is only used in unusual circumstances.

−
[[Imperial class Artillery Vehicle (Multiple Rocket)|MRLAV]] are normally deployed in [[Platoon]]s of 4 vehicles.
 
−
 
 
−
When deployed in non-[[Artillery]] units, independent [[Imperial class Artillery Vehicle (Multiple Rocket)|MRLAV]] [[Platoon]]s will be led a [[Imperial class Grav APC - Fire Direction Centre|Fire Direction Centre APC]] ([[Imperial Army]]) or [[Imperial class Grav APC - Fire Direction Centre (Marines)|Marine Fire Direction Centre APC]] ([[Imperial Marines]]).
 
−
 
 
−
When deployed in [[Artillery]] units, [[Imperial class Artillery Vehicle (Multiple Rocket)|MRLAV]] [[Platoon]]s are usually deployed in pairs with an [[Imperial class Artillery Vehicle (Remote Drone)|RDMAV]] Platoon. These [[Battery|batteries]] have no integral [[Fire Direction Centre]]s with that capability being held at [[Battery]] [[Headquarters|HQ]] level.
 
−
 
 
−
In both cases, one [[Imperial Utility Grav Sled]] is assigned per vehicle for munitions supply purposes. The munitions supply chain thus becomes the limiting factor in the rate of fire that can be achieved in the field.

−
n.b. This vehicle must be stationary to fire for aerodynamic and stability reasons.

−
The vast majority of [[Imperial class Artillery Vehicle (Multiple Rocket)|MRLAV]] are deployed by the [[Imperial Army]] as the [[Imperial Marines]] prefer the [[Meson Artillery Vehicle]] instead.

== History & Background ([[Dossier]]) ==
 
−
This design was developed as the joint [[Imperial Marines]]/[[Imperial Army]] solution in the [[Imperial class Grav APC family]].
 
−
 
 
−
Those [[Imperial Marines]] facing the [[Zhodani Consulate]] and [[Sword Worlds Confederation]] in the [[Spinward Marches Sector]] had fully upgraded to be using these systems in time for the [[Fifth Frontier War]].
