The Arbalète Artillery System, or the Arbalète LRM17, is a self-propelled multiple rocket launcher developed in 2017 for the Montesayettean Army. The main component of the system is a pod of twelve UFM(L) 262 mm rockets or four Percuteur 400 mm tactical ballistic missiles mounted on a modified 8×8 chassis of an all-terrain articulated hauler. The crew and engine compartments are armored, and bullet- and fragmentation-resistant windows are fitted in the cab. The system is modular in design and can integrate a light, remote-controlled weapon station on top of the crew compartment. The system also includes an ammunition replenishment vehicle and a Milos support vehicle.
