The A-100 is a 300 mm (12 in), 10-tube multiple rocket launcher developed by the China Academy of Launch Vehicle Technology (CALT), a subsidiary of the China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation (CASC).
The system was not deployed with the Chinese military after losing an internal bidding competition; however, the system was exported to Pakistan.
