GMLRS Alternative Warhead (AW): The Guided MLRS AW round was the first munition developed to service area targets without the effects of unexploded ordnance, complying with the U.S. Department of Defense cluster munitions policy and international policies. The AW variant has a range exceeding 70 kilometers and delivers a 200-pound class ...

2019年8月22日 · Based on IOT&E results, DOT&E recommended the Army update GMLRS-AW tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTP). The Army revised the GMLRS-AW targeting procedures. GMLRS-AW contains no submunitions to cause unintended harm to civilians and infrastructure associated with unexploded ordnance from cluster munitions.

In April 2012, Lockheed Martin received a $79.4 million contract to develop a GMLRS incorporating an Alliant Techsystems-designed alternative warhead to replace DPICM cluster warheads. The AW version is designed as a drop-in replacement with little modification needed to existing rockets.

2023年4月12日 · The GMLRS/GMLRS AW rocket is a solid propellant artillery rocket deployed from the M270A1 and the High Mobility Artillery Rocket System mobile launch vehicles. GMLRS/GMLRS AW uses an Inertial Measuring Unit with Global Positioning System assistance to guide the rocket to a specific point to deliver effects on target.

GMLRS Alternative Warhead (AW) variant. The SMPS enables an optimal height of burst (HOB) for both the ER GMLRS AW and Unitary warhead variants. In November 2023, the Army delayed additional testing of the ER GMLRS AW variant and ER GMLRS Unitary with height of burst mode, pending development of a redesigned SMPS. The Army

2025年3月12日 · The United States has confirmed a potential military sale to Australia for Guided Multiple Launch Rocket System-Alternate Warhead (GMLRS-AW) rounds and associated equipment, valued at an estimated $91.2 million.

In 1994, the U.S. Army initiated the GMLRS (Guided MLRS) ATD (Advanced Technology Demonstration) program to develop a guided derivative of the M26 MLRS rocket. The M30 GLMRS rocket uses a guidance system with an IMU (Inertial Measurement Unit) and a GPS receiver, and has four small additional control fins in the nose.

2024年7月22日 · GMLRS comes in two variants, each with its own tactical advantages. The unitary warhead addresses point targets and the Alternative Warhead (AW) is designed for imprecisely located (area) targets, leaving no unexploded ordnance on the field. It’s pin-point accuracy and reliability reduces the number of rockets needed to defeat land-based targets.

GMLRS extends the range of MLRS fires to more than 60 kilometers and substantially improve MLRS accuracy. GMLRS provides the same lethality as the M26 and M26A2 with far fewer rockets.

2023年11月29日 · ER GMLRS is a next-generation low collateral damage, precision-guided rocket with a length of 3.93m and width of 0.22m. It enables the warfighter to accurately target and engage both specific points and broader areas with precision firepower. Each launch pod or container carries six missiles.
