Which system is built on a wheeled platform and fires M270 rockets?

• A. M142
• B. M252
• C. M109
• D. M777

Answer: (A)

The system built on a wheeled platform and designed to fire the M270 rocket family is the HIMARS launcher. It sits on a 6x6 wheeled chassis, offering high mobility and rapid redeployment, and it uses the same M270 rockets or missiles in its pods as the tracked MLRS does. This combination—a wheeled, highly mobile launcher with the ability to fire the M270 family—defines HIMARS. The other options are different types of artillery or mortar systems (mortar and towed or tracked howitzers) and do not match both criteria of a wheeled platform and firing M270 rockets.
