The company conducted a thorough investigation and determined the cause was \u201ca technical issue with a fin.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lockheed incorporated \u201cminor enhancements to mitigate recurrence,\u201d and the successful flight test on March 4 showed those enhancements solved the issue, the company said. \u201cAnomalies are a normal part of testing expanded capabilities before they are fielded to the warfighter,\u201d Lockheed added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The 80-kilometer shot fired from the Army\u2019s High Mobility Artillery Rocket System met the test objectives, Lockheed said in its news release.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cOur new Extended-Range GMLRS significantly increases the range of the current system, offering the choice of munitions for longer distances and improving options with the same reliability and accuracy our customers have come to expect,\u201d Gaylia Campbell, vice president of precision fires and combat maneuver systems at Lockheed Martin Missiles and Fire Control, said in the statement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The release added that the demo \u201cconfirmed the missile\u2019s flight trajectory performance, range and validated interfaces with the HIMARS launcher and system software performance.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Army has now completed two of the four engineering development test flights planned. The remaining flights are planned in the second quarter of the year, Lockheed confirmed to Defense News.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The ultimate goal is to get the rocket to reach 150-plus kilometers. Following the engineering developments tests, the Army will conduct system qualification test flights and operational test flights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lockheed anticipates cutting the extended-range version into its production line in the fiscal 2023 contract award and is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/smr\/federal-budget\/2020\/02\/10\/heres-how-many-bombs-the-us-plans-to-buy-in-the-next-year\/\" target=_blank>planning to produce the new extended-range rockets<\/a> at its Camden, Arkansas, facility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The company has produced more than 50,000 GMLRS rounds and is under contract to provide another 9,000 GMLRS Unitary and Alternative-Warhead rockets as well as over 1,800 low-cost, reduced-range practice rockets for both the U.S. Army and international customers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After the Army&#8217;s extended-range Guided Multiple Launch Rocket System experienced an anomaly during its first flight test late last
