Test in the Desert in New Mexico shows interoperability and the strategic potential of the new wheelbarrow rocket artillery system
Lockheed Martin and Rheinmetall performed successfully the first test shoot with sharp shots from Global Mobile Artillery Rocket System (GMARS)using precision -controlled GMLRS-Traken on White Sands Missile Range in the US state of New Mexico.

The test marks an important step in the development of the system, which is intended to provide a mobile and interoperable long-distance solution for forces from the United States, NATO and allied countries. Gmars is designed to shoot the same precision weapons as Himars and M270a2and combines the proven impact of GMLRS with the mobility of the Rhein metal wheel platform HX.
In addition to GMLRS, the system has the capacity to use ATACMS-rackets and PrSM (Precision Strike Missile)something that extends its operational reach significantly. Compatibility with existing systems ensures full interoperability with NATO’s weapons artery.
Developed in a strategic partnership between the United States and Germany, Gmars appears as a modern and flexible alternative to the M270 launcher, with better mobility and lower logistics costs. According to the companies, the project is designed to offer “high flexibility, mobility and ability for joint operations in long -range fire support assignments”.
The system is expected to strengthen both deterrence and operational emergency preparedness for Western forces in scenarios with high -intensity conflict.
