The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/digital-show-dailies\/ausa\/2020\/10\/13\/army-lockheed-prep-for-first-extended-range-guided-rocket-test-firing\/\" target=_blank>ER-GMLRS<\/a> traveled more than 135 kilometers in the test at White Sands Missile Range, New Mexico, according to a company news release last week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The company will supply more than 9,000 GMLRS Unitary and Alternative-Warhead rockets as well as 2,000 Low-Cost Reduced-Range Practice Rockets. It will also provide logistics support to the U.S. Army, U.S. Marine Corps and international customers. The Alternative-Warhead version was developed to hit targets without the risk of leaving unexploded ordnance in the area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">GMLRS production will take place in Camden, Arkansas; Dallas and Lufkin, Texas; and Ocala, Florida, and will be finished by September 2023, according to the company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lockheed has already delivered 50,000 GMLRS rockets to the Army.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The ER-GMLRS in development is expected to reach targets at ranges of 150 kilometers with the same accuracy as the current GMLRS rockets, according to Lockheed. In the 135-kilometer test on March 25, the rocket was fired from a Lockheed-manufactured High Mobility Artillery Rocket System and \u201cmet test objectives.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The event followed a March 4 test, during which the ER-GMLRS rocket reached an 80-kilometer range.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The first flight test for the extended-range rocket took place in November 2020, but the round experienced an anomaly after launch. Following an investigation it was determined the cause was due to a technical issue with a fin, which was resolved through \u201cminor enhancements.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Army has now completed three of the four planned engineering development test flights. Following these 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 planning to <a
