North Korea has test-fired an ‘upgraded' large-calibre multiple rocket launcher (MRL) system, state-run Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) reported on 28 January.
据朝鲜官方通讯社朝鲜中央通讯社(KCNA)1月28日报道,朝鲜试射了一款“升级版”大口径多管火箭炮(MRL)系统。
 
According to KCNA,the test firing was conducted one day earlier by North Korea's Missile Administration. The test firing was conducted to “verify the effectiveness of [the] large-calibre multiple rocket launcher system upgraded with new technology”, KCNA said.
据朝中社报道,朝鲜导弹管理局提前一天进行了试射。朝中社称,此次试射是为了“验证采用新技术升级的大口径多管火箭发射系统的有效性”。
 
It added, “The fired four rockets hit a target in the waters 358.5 km away from the point of launch.” KCNA provided no details about the missiles' flight trajectory.
朝中社补充道,“发射的四枚火箭弹击中了距离发射点358.5公里外的水域目标。”朝中社未提供导弹飞行轨迹的详细信息。
 
Citing North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, who was present at the test fire event, KCNA reported that the upgraded system features a “self-steered, precisely guided flight system, which can neglect any outside intervention”.
朝中社援引出席试射活动的朝鲜领导人金正恩的话报道称,升级后的系统具备“自主控制、精确制导的飞行系统,能够无视任何外界干预”。
 
Reference to the self-steered system likely indicates that the weapon is equipped with an autonomous inertial navigation system (INS)‑based precision guidance system with in‑flight control.
提到自导系统可能表明该武器配备了基于自主惯性导航系统(INS)的精确制导系统,该系统具备飞行中控制功能。
 
“All the indexes have been improved to maximise its strike capability, and the mobility, intelligence, and hitting accuracy of the rockets, in particular, have remarkably been upgraded,” Kim said. “The mobility of the newly modernised launcher vehicle is also perfect.”
“所有指标都得到了提升,以最大限度地增强其打击能力,特别是火箭的机动性、智能性和命中精度都得到了显著提升,”金(Kim)说。“新近现代化后的发射车的机动性也非常完美。”
 
Japan's Ministry of Defense (MoD) said it tracked two ballistic missiles being launched from the west coast of North Korea on 27 January. According to the MoD, the first missile was launched at 1554 h local time, flew at a maximum altitude of about 80 km, and splashed down after a distance of 350 km.
日本防卫省(MoD)表示,其于1月27日追踪到两枚从朝鲜西海岸发射的弹道导弹。据防卫省称,第一枚导弹于当地时间15时54分发射,飞行过程中最高高度约为80公里,在飞行350公里后坠入海中。
