technology
Development of the rocket began in 1957 and entered service in 1964 as the Type 64 MAT . The gun was manufactured by Kawasaki Heavy Industries . Although the majority of the guided missiles have been replaced by the Type 79 Jyu-MAT and Type 87 Chu-MAT , a small part is still held as a reserve.
Two guided weapons are transported in start boxes on a Mitsubishi Type 73 Light Truck , two additional weapons are available as reserves. The system is operated by three men. The weapon is powered by a solid rocket engine and reaches its cruising speed in 0.8 seconds. To do this, the starting canister is inclined by 15 ° to the horizontal, the operator then guides the weapon manually into the target (MCLOS).
