GMLRS Alternative Warheads
Abstract
The United States (U.S.) Army funded the development of the Guided Multiple Launch Rocket System (GMLRS) Alternative Warhead (AW) increment under the EG2-GMLRS AW project code. GMLRS AW has been developed as a non-cluster munition to replace GMLRS Dual Purpose Improved Conventional Munitions (DPICM) and service the same area and imprecisely-located targets. GMLRS DPICM Production was terminated in response to the June 2008 Department of Defense (DoD) Cluster Munitions Policy. GMLRS AW successfully completed the combined Milestone C (MS C) and Full Rate Production (FRP) decision review on 8 April 2015. Initial Operational Capability (IOC) is planned for December 2016. The acquisition strategy is to procure AW as part of the annual GMLRS FRP contract.
