Joint Reduced Range Rocket (JR3)

Abstract

In order to ensure units achieve and maintain combat readiness, the Army has a Standards in Training Commission (STRAC) requirement that utilizes a training rocket to meet the annual qualification and pre-deployment requirements for Active and National Guard High Mobility Artillery Rocket System (HIMARS) and M270A1/M270A2 Multiple Launch Rocket System (MLRS) launcher units. The Low Cost Reduced Range Practice Rocket (LCRRPR) is the current training rocket, however, due to limited supply of pods and motors that are repurposed for manufacture of LCRRPR, continued production is only feasible through FY 2030. FY 2025 RDTE dollars in the amount of $13.565 million initiates development of the Joint Reduced Range Rocket (JR3). Upon completion of development and qualification, the JR3 will replace the currently fielded LCRRPR.
