Abstract

Expeditionary Indirect Fires provides the Ground Combat Element (GCE) systems needed to engage multiple enemy threats from land and sea. High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems (HIMARS) which is a C-130 transportable, wheeled, indirect fire, rocket/missile system capable of firing all rockets and missiles in the Multiple Launch Rocket System (MLRS) Family of Munitions (MFOM). The system includes one launcher, two Re-Supply Systems, and the MFOM. HIMARS provides the Marine Air-Ground Task Force (MAGTF) 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, distributed operations and sea control. Development provides for the modernization and obsolescence mitigation of the HIMARS in order to provide improved operational capabilities. The HIMARS batteries have previously used old Reduced Range Practice Rocket (RRPRs) motors to refurbish as new training rounds. Due to limited quantities available, the Army is developing a new RRPR. The Marine Corps, in conjunction with the Army, will initiate testing of the new RRPRs in FY 2025.
