The rocket launcher, which has been designed and manufactured by the Ministry of Military Production, is mounted on a tracked platform with a length of 6.3 metres, a width of 2.8 metres, and a height of 2.8 metres.

The system has an empty weight of 12.207 tonnes and can carry a payload of 4.7 tonnes.

It is fitted with a four-stroke 385 hp HD12 ZLG-M engine that gives the Raad 200 an operational range of 400 kilometres and a maximum speed of 45 km/h on-road and 27 km/h off-road.

The system is armed with a launcher capable of carrying 30 122 mm artillery rockets.

The Raad 200 is crewed by three men who can fire the rockets from inside the cabin, either one at a time or in bursts.

The Egyptian Army has successfully tested the system's mobility and has demonstrated that it is capable of firing 20 rockets in 12 seconds.
