Description

The GMLRS ER (Guided Multiple Launch Rocket System Extended Range) is a variant of the M30 rocket developed to play the Concept Technology Demonstrator (CTD) role for the United Kingdom (UK) Ministry of Defense (MoD) Indirect Fire Precision Attack (IFPA) program. The developmental contract for IFPA was issued by the MoD to MBDA in April 2004. Since then, MBDA in partnership with Lockheed-Martin have been working on the GMLRS ER. The GMLRS ER rocket demonstrator features an extended range out to 100 kilometers which one of the key for the IFPA munitions requirement. The rocket demonstrator test firings concluded in July 2005 at the White Sands Missile Range, New Mexico. During the flight tests, the GMLRS ER performed at higher altitude and at higher speeds than the standard M30 rocket.
