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 Project EG3 Guided MLRS. 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 and second source qualification; (3) development of enhancements to the MLRS common test equipment; (4) evaluation and development of technologies to enhance overall product performance and survivability to include Positioning, Navigation and Timing (PNT); and (5) system test and evaluation. The Fiscal Year (FY) 2021 dollars in the amount of $61.060 million will continue the design, qualification, and testing of an extended range variant of the GMLRS; and continue qualification of key rocket obsolescence upgrades.
