The M-18 Oganj (from Serbian : огањ, lit. 'fire') is a Serbian modular self-propelled multiple rocket launcher. It represents an evolution of the original M-77 Oganj system, incorporating advanced digitalization, modularity, and compatibility with a wide range of munitions. The system is designed for high-mobility fire support, capable of delivering saturation strikes against enemy positions, armored formations, and fortifications while emphasizing quick setup, firing, and relocation.
Development
[edit ]The M-18 Oganj is built on a robust FAP 2234 6x6 wheeled chassis for off-road mobility, with an electrically powered 360° rotating turntable for the launch module.[2] [3] Its modularity is a standout feature: the rear launcher station accepts 2 to 8 interchangeable containers, enabling reconfiguration for different mission profiles
Added new possibilities enable launcher to easy orient itself with GPS/GLONASS assistance and inertial navigation and launch different types of guided and unguided missiles with some of them still in development. It can use ALAS and Košava 1 guided missiles. Vehicle possess antenna and other relevant parts of computerized guidance system needed to launch guided missiles, new digital radio and inertial navigation system.[4] It can also use variety of unguided missiles in 107 mm, 122 mm, and 128 mm caliber.[5]
During test firings, it has achieved a range of 40km using the G-2000 122mm unguided missile.[6]
Officially unveiled in 2018, the M-18 Oganj entered serial production in the early 2020s.
