The original T-813 chassis was replaced with the new T815-7T3RC1 8X8.1R chassis with air axle suspension. Two-door variant is also available. Overall design of whole system increased by unique Tatra chassis T815-7 with its high cruising speed and high crosscountry capability.

The RM-70 VAMPIRE 4D is a hugely upgraded variant of the original Czechoslovak RM-70 GRAD MLRS with a loading device. The rocket launcher can fire both single rounds and volleys from the cab or using a portable device from a nearby trench. The basic type of the fire is indirect fire. If a combat operation requires direct fire with elevation from 0° to 10°, it can only be done within the range determined by elevation and traverse sensors.
