Which platform fires M270 artillery rockets and anti-air missiles?

• A. HIMARS
• B. ACV
• C. M777
• D. MV-22 Osprey

Answer: (A)

The key idea is recognizing a launcher platform that can deliver the MLRS family of munitions. The High Mobility Artillery Rocket System (HIMARS) is the wheeled launcher designed to fire the same M270 MLRS rockets and also be capable of launching MGM-140 ATACMS missiles. That combination—space-efficient, mobile, and modular launch pods—defines HIMARS as the platform for these munitions. The other options are not rocket-launch platforms: an armored vehicle, a towed howitzer, and a tiltrotor aircraft do not serve as MLRS launchers.
