US Army to Award CAML Medium Autonomous Missile Launcher Within 30 Days
The U.S. Army expects to award its Common Autonomous Multi-Domain Launcher Medium platform contract within approximately 30 days after completing source selection, officials said on October 14, 2026. The proposed launcher has a maximum gross vehicle weight of 36,000 pounds and is intended to accommodate strike and air-defense weapons, including Tomahawk, PAC-3 MSE and MLRS munitions. Georgia Tech Research Institute holds a separate prototype integration agreement worth up to $33.4 million for CAML Increment Zero. The program remains a prototype effort, with CAML Light cooperation with Australia planned for 2027 and a heavy initiative later.
