Lockheed Martin Conducts Third Successful Flight Test of New GMLRS Warhead

Lockheed Martin successfully conducted the third engineering development test flight of the new Guided Multiple Launch Rocket System (GMLRS) Alternative Warhead at White Sands Missile Range, N.M. Preliminary data indicate all test objectives were achieved.

During the short-range test, three GMLRS rockets were launched from an MLRS M270A1 launcher and each destroyed its respective ground-based target approximately 17 kilometers away. This was the final engineering development flight test in the series before the program continues to production qualification testing.

“This milestone is significant because it enables us to move on to the next phase of testing,” said Wayne Wilson, GMLRS program director at Lockheed Martin Missiles and Fire Control. “Our goal is to ensure that the GMLRS program continues to meet the evolving requirements defined by our customer.”
