The Extended Range GMLRS reaches up to 150 kilometres, more than double the 70-kilometre range of the standard system, while maintaining the same precision and reliability. It is compatible with existing HIMARS and M270A2 launchers, expanding engagement options against point and area targets without requiring changes to launch platforms or force structure.
“ER GMLRS delivers the extended range our partners need, on a platform they already trust,” said Dave Griser, vice president, Lockheed Martin Precision Fires Rockets. “This successful demonstration of our Alternative Warhead variant confirms ER GMLRS can reliably deliver precision effects against both point and area targets at double the range.”
Further testing with soldiers is planned for the first half of 2026 to demonstrate the Alternative Warhead capability. Lockheed Martin said demand is growing across Europe and the Indo-Pacific, with the system intended to support a shared multinational fires capability for the United States and its partners.
