Guided MLRS
Abstract
The United States (U.S.) Army continues to explore ways to enhance Guided Multiple Launch Rocket System (GMLRS) rockets and common components and to mitigate obsolescence issues under the Guided MLRS project code. The Army is requesting funding for the following GMLRS Research, Development, Test and Evaluation (RDT&E) activities: (1) evaluation of enhanced operational capabilities to provide more flexibility across the target set to include increased range, flight performance, and end-game optimization; (2) investigation of potential life cycle cost savings through obsolescence initiatives; (3) development of enhancements to the Multiple Launch Rocket System (MLRS) common test equipment; (4) evaluation and development of technologies to enhance overall product performance and survivability; and (5) Insensitive Munitions (IM) compliance. The FY2018 dollars in the amount of $102.807 million will complete the testing and qualification of the Insensitive Munitions Propulsion System (IMPS); continue qualification of key rocket obsolescence upgrades (including the M-Code compliant NAVSTRIKE-M upgrade); evaluate rocket pod improvements; and initiate the design, qualification and testing of an extended range variant of the GMLRS.
