Description
Mission — Joint Reduced Range Rocket (JR3)
The Joint Reduced Range Rocket (JR3) is a replacement for the Low Cost Reduced Range Practice Rocket (LCRRPR). LCRRPR is the only live training rocket that supports the annual qualification and pre-deployment requirements for Active and National Guard High Mobility Artillery Rocket System (HIMARS) and MLRS launcher units. JR3 is required because the remaining inventory of launch pod containers and motors is insufficient to support LCRRPR production beyond FY 2030. FY 2026 funding in the amount of $28.893M continues the prototyping and development of the JR3. The munitions developed under this funding line are part of the MLRS Family of Munitions (MFOM) that are deployed by the M142 HIMARS and M270 MLRS launchers.
Mission — Joint Reduced Range Rocket
In order to achieve and maintain combat readiness, the Army has a Standards in Training Commission (STRAC) requirement that utilizes a training rocket to meet the annual certification and pre-deployment requirements for Active and National Guard High Mobility Artillery Rocket System (HIMARS) and M270A1/M270A2 Multiple Launch Rocket System (MLRS) launcher units. The Joint Reduced Range Rocket (JR3) is required because the remaining inventory of launch pod containers and motors is insufficient to support LCRRPR production beyond FY 2030. FY 2026 funding continues the prototyping and development of the JR3. Upon completion of development and qualification, the JR3 will replace the currently fielded LCRRPR.
