The U.S. Army is assessing whether industry can support production of 19,002 Guided Multiple Launch Rocket System rockets a year for M142 HIMARS and M270 MLRS launchers.
The Royal Canadian Air Force used a CC-177 Globemaster III to move a U.S. Army M142 HIMARS launcher, soldiers and support equipment into Alaska for Operation TUNDRA MERLIN.
U.S. Air Force F-35A Lightning II fighters hunted down and destroyed a simulated cruise missile battery over Alaska, then passed the target's coordinates to an Army rocket unit on the ground — a sequence that compressed what officials call the modern kill chain into a single training exercise.
U.S. forces integrated F-35 fighters and HIMARS long-range fires during Operation TUNDRA MERLIN near Nome, Alaska, on August 4 and 6.
Lockheed Martin is working with Rheinmetall to move ATACMS production capacity to Germany, Chief Executive Jim Taiclet said.
The Pentagon has approved more than $13 billion in Lockheed Martin contracts. The awards cover special operations support, F-35 spares and Taiwan missile procurement.
The U.S. Department of War has signed a production contract with Lockheed Martin covering the supply of MGM-140 ATACMS short-range ballistic missiles, in a deal that adds another layer of firepower to Taiwan's expanding arsenal.
The agreement underscores Lockheed Martin’s commitment to Europe and to long-term co-production ties with European industry and customers.
The contract enables continued production and delivery of standard and extended-range GMLRS rounds.
The U.S. Army’s Precision Strike Missile has become a key element in the modernization of American rocket artillery.
Lockheed Martin said the C-130J Super Hercules and High Mobility Artillery Rocket System can together provide the Australian Defence Force with a rapid, mobile strike capability.
