The mission of the Guided Multiple Launch Rocket System/Guided Multiple Launch Rocket System Alternative Warhead (GMLRS/GMLRS AW) is to attack/neutralize/suppress/destroy targets using indirect precision fires. GMLRS provides Field Artillery units with medium- and long-range (70+ kilometers (Km)) fires while supporting brigade, division, corps, army, theater, Joint/Coalition Forces, and Marine Air-Ground Task Forces in full, limited, or expeditionary operations. GMLRS rocket is a solid propellant artillery rocket deployed from the M270A1 and the High Mobility Artillery Rocket System mobile launch vehicles. GMLRS/GMLRS AW uses an Inertial Measuring Unit with Global Positioning System assistance to guide the rocket to a specific point to deliver effects on target. GMLRS/GMLRS AW is transported and fired in a Rocket Pod Container that consists of six rockets. GMLRS is currently designed to carry two warhead payload variants, GMLRS Dual Purpose Improved Conventional Munitions (GMLRS DPICM) and GMLRS Unitary (GMLRS-U). A third variant of the GMLRS, the Alternative Warhead (AW), entered the Engineering and Manufacturing Development Phase after successful completion of Milestone B.
