The system designed and manufactured by Hanwha Defense has two ramp transport compartments.
In addition to being equipped with uniform ammunition, the K-MLRS can be transformed into two rocket launcher configurations of different diameters in side-by-side compartments.
Development of MLRS began in 2009, and the first vehicle was produced in 2013.
The system has been in the inventory of the Korean Armed Forces since 2015.
