The contract enables continued production and delivery of standard and extended-range GMLRS rounds. Lockheed Martin said it continues to invest in manufacturing capacity, supply chain resilience and production efficiency to support America’s Arsenal of Freedom.
GMLRS is described by the company as a cornerstone of the U.S. Army’s deterrent capability. Lockheed Martin said the system provides accurate, responsive and reliable effects to the warfighter.
The production award reflects sustained demand for the system and the need to scale industrial capacity. The company said the contract supports Army requirements for readiness, training and stockpile replenishment.
“Meeting the Army’s demand for precision fires requires speed and disciplined execution across the industrial base,” said David Griser, vice president, Lockheed Martin Precision Fires Rockets. “This award allows us to continue increased production while preserving the quality and reliability expected of the GMLRS system.”
Work under the contract will support continued GMLRS production across Lockheed Martin’s manufacturing network. The company said the effort will focus on maximizing and accelerating output.
Lockheed Martin said investment areas across the portfolio include expansion of final assembly and integration capacity and increased automation across inspection and test operations. They also include supplier-base expansion and qualification for critical components, workforce growth and technical skills development, and modernization of tooling, production systems and digital manufacturing capabilities.
The company said these initiatives are designed to improve throughput, reduce lead times and sustain high-rate production. It also said the award aligns with broader Department of War priorities to reinforce the defense industrial base and ensure rapid production and replenishment of critical munitions.
Lockheed Martin said it continues to invest in long-term capacity and supply-chain resilience across all production lines. The company said these investments enhance production stability and support rapid response to evolving Army requirements.
“As demand for precision fires continues, our priority is to deliver capability at the pace required by the warfighter,” said Griser. “We are committed to leveraging our expanded capacity, strengthening our supplier network and ensuring consistent execution across the program.”
Lockheed Martin said it remains focused on delivering GMLRS on schedule and at scale in support of Army readiness objectives. The company said it continues to work closely with the U.S. Army to meet production requirements and support the warfighter in the moments it matters most.
