"This test demonstrates an almost double range while maintaining the accuracy that GMLRS is known," says Vice president of the Precision Fires unit Jay Price. Successful launching of ammunition brings the deployment of rockets and their production. The ER GMLRS (Extended Range Guided Multiple Launch Rocket System) demonstrated such a flight trajectory, range and accuracy that the test can be called satisfactory. The stated characteristics have been confirmed.
Before direct launch, Lockheed Martin imitated the cumulative effect that ER GMLRS undergoes in the field when starting. It showed that the starting container and the ammunition themselves are strong enough. The company said they made 60,000 GMLRS with different combat units all the time. They continue to produce in Arkansas. Recall that in the United States ordered a party of PRSM missiles, which will be able to strike targets at a distance of up to 500 km. It will replace the ATACMS rocket.
