The ''hwacha'' (lit. "fire cart") was an early artillery device developed by [[Joseon]] Korea, consisting of a cart from which one hundred fire-arrows (K: ''singijeon'') could be launched. It may have been the first multiple-launch rocket launcher developed in the world. Adjusting the angle of the launcher aided in aiming at a target.

''Singijeon'', developed several years earlier in [[1448]], were rocket arrows with pockets for [[gunpowder]] attached. They were produced in three sizes (small, medium, and large), along with a two-stage type of rocket arrow known as ''sanhwa singijeon''.
