Lockheed Martin delivers 100,000th GMLRS rocket, reaches nearly 14,000 a year ahead of schedule
Lockheed Martin announced delivery of the 100,000th Guided Multiple Launch Rocket System round and an annual production pace approaching 14,000 rockets ahead of its planned schedule. GMLRS is launched from the M270 MLRS and M142 HIMARS systems used by the US Army and allied forces for precision surface-to-surface fires. At its Camden, Arkansas, facility, the company is expanding staffing and production capacity while working with more than 200 suppliers across 35 US states. The milestone coincides with testing of an additional General Dynamics solid rocket motor intended to broaden the propulsion supply base following qualification planned for 2027.
