The world’s most feared rocket system just doubled its reach. In a high-stakes test at White Sands Missile Range, Lockheed Martin successfully launched the new Extended-Range GMLRS, proving it can strike targets over 110 kilometers away with a maximum design range of 150km.
This isn't just a bigger rocket, it’s a game-changer for the Pacific and Europe. By doubling the distance of standard HIMARS strikes while keeping the same pinpoint accuracy, U.S. forces and their allies can now delete enemy air defenses and command centers from a safe distance. The best part? It works with the launchers already in the field today.
Is 150 kilometers enough to dominate the modern battlefield, or do we need even more range?
