Lockheed Martin to provide GMLRS to israel, Finland, Jordan and Singapore

Lockheed Martin Missiles and Fire Control was awarded a $331,760,390 foreign military sales to supply Israel, Finland, Jordan, Singapore with Guided Multiple Launch Rocket System (GMLRS) alternative warhead rocket pods.



Under the US Army awarded contract, Lockheed Martin Missiles and Fire Control has to supply 290 Guided Multiple Launch Rocket System (GMLRS) alternative warhead rocket pods, 34 unitary rocket pods and 529 reduced range practice rocket pods, the US Department of Defense announced Thursday.

GMLRS is an all-weather rocket designed for fast deployment that delivers precision strike beyond the reach of most conventional weapons. GMLRS Unitary rockets greatly exceed the required combat reliability rate and have established a reputation for affordability.

The Alternative Warhead is designed to engage the same target set and achieve the same area-effects requirement as the old MLRS submunition warheads, but without the lingering danger of unexploded ordnance.

Work will be performed in Grand Prairie, Texas; and Camden, Arkansas, with an estimated completion date of March 31, 2018.
