Lockheed Martin completes 112km flight test for ER GMLRS

Reaching a range of 150 kilometres with the ER GMLRS would more than double the 70-kilometre range of standard-range GMLRS to engage high-value, time-sensitive targets with greater battlespace coverage.

“ER GMLRS delivers the extended range our partners need, on a platform they already trust,” said Lockheed Martin Precision Fires Rockets vice president Dave Griser.

“This successful demonstration of our alternative warhead variant confirms ER GMLRS can reliably deliver precision effects against both point and area targets at double the range.”

Soldiers will demonstrate ER GMLRS AW capability through additional tests in the first half of 2026.

ER GMLRS is compatible with existing HIMARS and M270A2 launchers.
