Das Mittlere Artillerie-raketensystem (MARS) ist die deutsche Variante des multinationalen Waffen-systems 227 mm MLRS, das während der 80er Jahre in den U.S.A. entwickelt worden ist und von vielen NATO-Partnern beschafft wurde. Die Bundeswehr verwendet MARS seit 1990 für das Verlegen von Minensperren (AT-2) sowie zur Bekämpfung von halbharten und weichen Zielen mit Bombletmunition.Seitdem sind eine Reihe anderer Munitionsarten entwickelt worden, die aber nicht alle von der Bundeswehr übernommen worden sind. Die Fahrzeuge der D/F-Brigade sind in den deutschen Führungsverbund Artillerieraketeneinsatzsystem (ARES) eingegliedert und verfügen über einen Feuerleitrechner und eine eigene Fahrzeugnavigationsanlage.

Die zwölf Raketen des M270 Werfers können einzeln, als Teilserie oder als Serie innerhalb von 50 Sekunden verschossen werden. Dabei nivelliert sich das Fahrzeug nach jedem Schuß wieder aus bevor die nächste Rakete abgefeuert wird. Sowohl Fahrzeuge als auch Munition wurden erst vor wenigen Jahren leistungsgesteigert.

 

MARS is the German variant of the multi-national 227 mm Multiple Launch Rocket System (MLRS) developed during the 1980s in the U.S. and procured by several NATO member states. The German Armed Forced employs MARS since 1990 for the remote launch of anti-tank minefields (AT-2) as well as the destruction of soft targets by bomblet rounds.

Since then several other types of ammunition have been developed, though not all have been procured by the German Armed Forces (Bundeswehr). Vehicles belonging to the Franco-German Brigade are part of the German ARES (Artillery Rocket Combat System) and are also equipped with a fire control computer and a vehicular navigation system.

The twelve rockets of the M270 launcher can be fired single, as partial series or full series within 50 seconds. After each rocket leaves its canister the vehicle levels itself off before the next rocket is released. Both, carrier vehicles and ammunition have received upgrade measures only a few years ago.
