The MLRS1 artillery rockets (11) which are stored in the depots of the consumer can enjoy in a technologically non-critical fashion an increase in performance in the sense of a substantially improved degree of delivery precision, insofar as the ogival head (13) is temporarily cut off so that it is possible to fit into same and thus into the foremost region of the original payload space (15), which is behind the fuse (12), in a position of surrounding the pyrotechnic delivery ejection system, an annular assembly frame (21) for a transverse thrust unit (23) with reaction elements (25), which blow out radially around the rocket, which, in dependence on position, can be individually triggered by a navigation satellite-supported course correction unit (20) which is also fitted there.
An artillery rocket having an ogival head (13) extending into a payload space (15), said artillery rocket comprises an annular frame (21) arranged at a leading end region of said payload space (15) and extending into said ogival head (13), said annular frame (21) being equipped with a course correction unit (20) and with a transverse thrust unit (23);
