The SLAM (Sistema Lanzacohetes de Artillería Múltiple – or Multiple Rocket Launcher System) "Pampero" is an Argentinian multiple rocket launcher (a type of rocket artillery) from Cold War and modern eras. Currently is mounted in IVECO Trakker 6x4 trucks, in a similar way to the soviet Katyushas.

The SLAM "Pampero" MRL was developed by CITEFA in 1980-1983, and was subsequently manufactured during the early 1980s by the DGFM “Fabrica Militar Fray Luis Beltran” in Rosario, Argentina. It is composed by a 16-tube launcher mounted on an Unimog 416 4x4 truck. The ammunition consists of 105mm "Pampero" artillery rockets, also developed by CITEFA, which can be armed with a variety of warheads. A total of five "Pampero" launchers on UNIMOG 416 chassis (prototype) and FIAT 619 trucks (operational) were built for the Argentine Army in 1983 (one of them the prototype and the others four for actual use). Currently the launchers are mounted in IVECO Trakker trucks

The self-propelled variant is currently in service with the Argentine Army artillery branch.

It is now being replaced with the new CP-30 MRL, which is able to use either the 105mm rockets from the Pampero or the new 127mm rockets, also called CP-30.
