U.S. Army and Lockheed Martin Retarget HIMARS-Fired GMLRS Rocket in Flight to Destroy Moving Target

Lockheed Martin and the US Army redirected a HIMARS-launched Guided Multiple Launch Rocket System rocket during flight and destroyed a moving target at White Sands Missile Range. The demonstration integrated the company’s Strigo datalink with the Remote Interceptor Guidance-360 uplink, enabling updated targeting information to reach the rocket after launch. RIG-360 was developed for interceptor guidance, and its integration with GMLRS was funded by Lockheed Martin as an extension of existing communications technology. Announced on October 28, 2026, the test demonstrated an in-flight retargeting capability, although engagement range, target speed and the schedule for operational fielding were not disclosed.
