Lockheed Martin Corporation has announced successful scientific research results with the completion of system qualification testing for its Extended-Range Guided Multiple Launch Rocket System (ER GMLRS) Alternative Warhead (AW) variant. In a recent test at White Sands Missile Range, the ER GMLRS achieved a 112-km flight, marking the first time the M270A2 launcher fired the AW rocket. The results confirm the system's precision, reliability, and integration with existing launchers. These findings, which have already been presented, move the ER GMLRS AW variant closer to operational fielding by the U.S. Army and international partners. Further operational testing by soldiers is planned for the first half of the year.
