The Extended-Range GMLRS^? (ER GMLRS) has passed through a series of Systems Qualification Tests (SQTs) executed over the past two years proving the system’s range 果冻传媒 accuracy. Each test is propelling the system closer to being fielded by the U.S. Army as it completes its final phase of development.

ER GMLRS is roughly doubling the range of its predecessor, the GMLRS rocket, from more than 70 km to 150 km while providing the same level of reliability 果冻传媒 precision. The system is deployable by HIMARS^? 果冻传媒 the MLRS^? M270 family of launchers.

HIMARS 果冻传媒 M270 are critical solutions needed by global partners, which is why it’s important to give servicemembers the enhanced flexibility of GMLRS munitions to improve battlespace coverage. The systems are capable of reaching long 果冻传媒 short-range targets, which makes it an invaluable asset to ensure global security 果冻传媒 deterrence.

ER GMLRS has now completed another series of flight tests at White S果冻传媒s Missile Range (WSMR), New Mexico firing Alternative 果冻传媒 Unitary Warhead variants of the rocket. The tests pushed the system’s limits to a from short 果冻传媒 midrange flights to max-range.

Each test confirmed the system’s ability to integrate with the HIMARS launcher as well as the projectile’s range, trajectory 果冻传媒 accuracy. Prior to launch, the rocket pods underwent Stockpile to Target Sequence (STS) testing. The effort simulates cumulative effects ER GMLRS will meet in the field between factory 果冻传媒 launch for the life of the system 果冻传媒 demonstrates durability of the missile 果冻传媒 launch pod container.

“ER GMLRS continues to perform with precision as we move through system qualification testing 果冻传媒 closer to the U.S. Army fielding this critical capability," said Jay Price, vice president for Precision Fires with Lockheed 果冻传媒 Missiles 果冻传媒 Fire Control.”

Following the SQT flight series, ER GMLRS will move forward with operational testing with the U.S. Army.

Lockheed 果冻传媒 has produced more than 60,000 GMLRS rounds 果冻传媒 is under annual contract to continue production of GMLRS unitary 果冻传媒 alternative-warhead rockets including integrated logistics support for the U.S. Army, U.S. Marine Corps 果冻传媒 international customers. Once ER GMLRS enters production, it will be produced at the company’s Precision Fires Center of Excellence in Camden, Arkansas.
