Development of 82 mm and 132 mm rockets began in the Soviet Union in 1930. After the Air Force adopted the RS-82 82-mm air-to-air missile (in 1937) and the RS-132 132-mm air-to-ground missile (in 1938), the GAU tasked the developer with - Jet Research Institute (renamed NII-3), create a multiple rocket launcher field rocket system for RS-132 shells.

The BM-13 consisted of rockets, launchers, fire control devices and vehicles. The launcher was mounted on the chassis of a ZIS-6 off-road truck and was a 16-round launcher, in which 8 paired groove-type guides were placed along the axis of the vehicle, and firing was carried out through the driver's cabin.
