In 1804, Sir William Congreve developed the Congreve Rocket as a weapon for the British military. The wars fought between the British East India Company and the kingdom of Mysore, India made use of these rockets as a weapon.
The Congreve Rocket was a British military weapon used in artillery barrages in the Napoleonic wars, the War of 1812, and the New Zealand wars.
On October 8, 1806, Congreve rockets were used in the Battle of Jena during the Napoleonic Wars. The rockets were deployed by the British army against the French forces, causing significant damage and casualties. This event marked one of the earliest military uses of rocket artillery in a major battle.
Sir William Congreve, 2nd Baronet was the inventor of the Congreve rockets. They were used by the British navy against the French fleet in Boulogne on October 8-9 of 1806.
