GMLRS Alternative Warhead Program

Capability Gaps • Replaces DPICM Variant • Wide Area Effects • Attack of Area and

Inaccurately Located Targets

Description • GMLRS Unitary Guidance and Fuze System • Air Burst - Area Affects Warhead

Status • 3 Competitive Warhead Prototypes

Flight Tested in 2010 • US Army Selected ATK as Winner • EMD Program Began in March 2012 • Production Expected to Begin in 2015

GMLRS

Developing New Technologies that Achieve Same Effects as DPICM, Without the risk of Unexploded Ordnance

“ Should Cost” Program Schedule

• Milestone C and FRP Decision Review concurrent • LRIP eliminated

– DoDI 5000.02, “…may not require low-rate production to provide production representative articles for operational testing; test articles, if needed, may come from the existing production line.”

• Mature production line enables IOT&E to precede Milestone C – Executive Review in 1QFY14 confirms configuration for IOT&E – IOT&E remains RDT&E funded

• TEMP update developed with ATEC saves test cost and schedule – Ground and Flight testing streamlined to reduce range and hardware costs (22 rockets)

Low Risk Implementation Due to Successful Tech Demo and 90% Commonality with the Unitary Rocket
