Abstract
High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems (HIMARS) is a C-130 transportable, wheeled, indirect fire, rocket/missile system capable of firing all rockets and missiles in the current and future Multiple Launch Rocket System Family of Munitions (MFOM). The system includes one launcher, two Re-Supply Systems, and the MFOM. HIMARS will provide the Fleet Marine Force with 24 hour ground-based, responsive General Support/General Support Reinforcing (GS/GSR) indirect fires which accurately engage targets at long range (60+km) with high volumes of lethal fire under all weather conditions throughout all phases of combat operations ashore to include irregular warfare and distributed operations. HIMARS is a significant improvement over currently fielded ground fire support systems. During a 24 hour period, the system will be expected to conduct multiple moves and multiple fire missions. HIMARS will satisfy the Marine Corps requirement for an indirect fire system that is responsive, maneuverable, and is capable of engaging targets at long range.
