U.S. Army Awards Lockheed Martin $615M for HIMARS Launchers
The U.S. Army awarded Lockheed Martin $615 million to manufacture additional HIMARS launchers and associated equipment.
Lockheed Martin builds HIMARS at its Precision Fires Center of Excellence in Camden, Arkansas.
The award follows contracts last year to ramp production capacity and for expedited HIMARS production.
HIMARS provides long-range mobile firepower in support of Joint All-Domain Operations. A lightweight mobile launcher transportable by C-130 and larger aircraft for rapid deployment, HIMARS fires GMLRS rockets, ATACMS missiles, the next-generation Precision Strike Missile (PrSM) and Extended-Range GMLRS rockets. HIMARS consists of a loader launcher module and fire control system mounted on a five-ton truck chassis. A specialized armored cab provides additional protection to crew members that operate the system.
