Barq

BARQ – High Mobility Multiple Rocket Launcher (HIMRL)

The BARQ is an advanced multiple rocket launcher system designed and built in the United Arab Emirates. Developed to revolutionize modern artillery warfare. Mounted on a 4×4 truck chassis, the BARQ combines high-speed maneuverability, multi-caliber rocket capabilities, and loitering munition integration, offering a highly flexible and lethal fire support solution for modern armed forces.

The dual-capability design enables seamless transition from area suppression to precision engagement without requiring additional logistics or complex support systems. This makes it a force multiplier, particularly in asymmetric warfare and counter-insurgency operations, where adaptability and rapid response are critical.
