Guided MLRS

Abstract

The U.S. Army continues to explore ways to enhance Guided Multiple Launch Rocket System (GMLRS) rockets and common components and to mitigate aging technology issues under Project EG3: Guided MLRS. The Army is requesting funding for the following GMLRS Research, Development, Test and Evaluation (RDT&E) activities: (1) demonstration of Sensor Fuzed Weapon (SFW) payload prototypes to provide enhanced operational capabilities; (2) investigation of potential cost reduction initiatives; (3) Preplanned Product Improvement (P3I); (4) evaluation and development of technologies to enhance overall product performance and survivability to include Assured Positioning, Navigation and Timing (APNT); and (5) system test and evaluation. FY 2024 dollars in the amount of $50.688 million will support: *Next Generation Guidance Set development in support of APNT requirements *The SFW effort to evaluate and select payloads for integration into GMLRS/ ER GMLRS in order to demonstrate a capability to defeat medium and heavy armored targets at significantly increased ranges *Begin work on integration of Enhanced Alternative Warhead into an ER GMLRS.
