GMLRS

The Guided Multiple Launch Rocket System (GMLRS) is a family of precision-guided munitions developed by the United States Army. It is designed to provide indirect fire support to ground troops, enhancing their ability to engage targets with precision and accuracy. The GMLRS is launched from the Multiple Launch Rocket System (MLRS) launcher, which can fire up to 24 rockets in a single salvo. The system is capable of engaging targets at ranges of up to 70 kilometers, making it a valuable asset for both offensive and defensive operations.

The GMLRS comes in two primary variants: the GMLRS Block I and Block II. The Block I variant is a direct-fire weapon, designed to engage targets within a range of 15 kilometers. The Block II variant is an indirect-fire weapon, capable of engaging targets at ranges of up to 70 kilometers. Both variants are equipped with a GPS/INS guidance system, which allows them to hit targets with a circular error probable (CEP) of less than 10 meters.

The GMLRS is a versatile weapon system, capable of engaging a wide range of targets, including armored vehicles, artillery positions, and enemy command and control centers. It is also used in humanitarian and peacekeeping operations, where its precision and accuracy can help minimize civilian casualties. The GMLRS is a key component of the U.S. Army's indirect fire capability, and its development and deployment have significantly enhanced the service's ability to conduct modern warfare.
