GMLRS Alternative Warheads
Abstract
The United States (U.S.) Army initially funded the development of the Guided Multiple Launch Rocket System (GMLRS) Alternative Warhead (AW) increment under the EG2 - GMLRS Alternative Warheads project code. GMLRS AW entered full rate production in 2015. The 26 October 2016 Deputy Secretary's Management Action Group (DMAG) directed the Army to define and execute an effort for a GMLRS modification that would integrate a seeker into the rocket. The Fiscal Year (FY) 2022 dollars in the amount of $24.088 million supports the development, qualification, and integration of a side mounted proximity sensor (developed under ER GMLRS (EG3)), a more robust warhead fuze, and an enhanced area warhead to improve area effects lethality. The warhead development effort leverages previous work that assessed payload options; that work was funded with Guided MLRS (EG3) funding in prior years. The warhead development effort will continue to leverage EG3 funding as necessary to further this effort.
