France has introduced its counterpart to the American MLRS Himars. MLRS Foudre developers position their development as a multiple launch rocket system "100% French-made",

Already in the midst of testing the Aarok surveillance drone, French mid-size company Turgis Gaillard will present a 100% French-made Himars multiple rocket launcher at the Paris Air Show in June. The goal is to replace France's aging LRU rocket launchers by the end of 2027.

Army’s top general in the Indo-Pacific region has highlighted the value of “boxes of rockets” hiding in plain sight as part of a broader strategy that “gives our adversary pause.”

As for the launcher seen at Bragg, it is a prototype launch system developed as part of the Palletized Field Artillery Launcher (PFAL) project that is said to currently belong to U.S. Special Operations Command (SOCOM).

The Army has awarded Lockheed Martin a $4.2 billion contract modification to increase the production ceiling of the Guided Multiple Launch Rocket System. The total face value of the contract is a little more than $13 billion, according to a Pentagon contract notice issued Thursday.

According to a solicitation posted to SAM.gov, the period of performance for the entire contract runs through fiscal year 2027.

An amendment to the Army’s justification and approval documents for GMLRS procurement from FY-24 to FY-27 shows a projected increase from about 10,000 to 14,000 rockets per year over that period. The Army “exceeded its previously approved ceiling level for FY-24,” the documents state.

The purpose of the amendment to the justification and approval documents is to increase the ceiling in annual GMLRS production from 10,002 to 14,004 rockets per year and “capture its resultant higher contract values than planned for FY-24,” it states.

The Army also anticipates that the combined quantities of GMLRS Unitary Extended Range and Alternate Warhead variants will increase from 2,074 to 5,268 per year over that period, the documents state.

“The cost difference between these variants and the standard GMLRS variant is substantially higher, which was also a factor in the ceiling increase,” the documents state.

Congress gave the Pentagon multiyear procurement authorities for a host of weapon systems in the Fiscal Year 2023 National Defense Authorization Act, in response to the Russia-Ukraine war, which included GMLRS.

The Army has set an even more ambitious goal of reaching a production rate of 19,000 GMLRS rockets per year starting in FY-28, according to a sources-sought notice the service released this past April.
