Description
Description — Guided MLRS Rocket (GMLRS)
Guided Multiple Launch Rocket System (GMLRS) rockets are surface-to-surface artillery rockets fired from the Multiple Launch Rocket System (MLRS) and High Mobility Artillery Rocket System (HIMARS) launchers. GMLRS rockets provide 24/7, all-weather precision fires to engage both area and point targets at short, medium, and long ranges. The U.S. Marine Corps also procures GMLRS rockets through the Army project office. The GMLRS Program currently consists of two variants in full rate production which are the GMLRS Unitary and the GMLRS Alternative Warhead (AW). The GMLRS Unitary utilizes a 200-pound high explosive warhead to engage point targets with limited collateral damage. The GMLRS AW was developed as a non-cluster munition to engage area or imprecisely located targets. The Extended Range (ER) GMLRS Unitary variant was developed under an Engineering Change Proposal (ECP) in order to increase the current maximum design range. The ER GMLRS Unitary rocket is currently in production and the ER GMLRS AW will cut into future production.
Justification
Justification — Guided MLRS Rocket (GMLRS)
The FY 2026 Base procurement dollars in the amount of $1,167.876 million supports the procurement of 5,974 rockets. FY 2026 OOC procurement dollars in the amount of $0.351 million supports the acquisition of 2 Standard AW rockets. The actual missile buy quantities are subject to the mix between AW and Unitary warheads, Standard (regular range) versus Extended Range configurations, and Extended Range ECP production capacity ramp-up. In FY 2026, Army guidance is to procure 2,814 Standard Unitary, 2,934 Standard AW, and 228 ER GMLRS Unitary in support of the Army's Total Munitions Requirement (TMR). The Army intends to convert any price advantage created through contract negotiations, other service procurement, and/or foreign military sales to support procurement of additional GMLRS rockets. In previous years, procurement of all GMLRS and ER-GMLRS variants was under the C65404 Program Element (PE). Beginning in FY 2026, the Army established separate PEs for each variant to properly account for different cost, schedule, and performance metrics. The Army received authority to implement a four-year Multi-Year Procurement (MYP) contract covering FY 2024 - FY 2027. FY 2026 Advance Procurement dollars in the amount of $43.156 million procures long lead items for GMLRS production in FY 2027. Advance Procurement dollars are required to reduce production lead time of standard range GMLRS and ER-GMLRS from 36 months down to 24 months to mitigate supply chain volatility. Advance Procurement is required annually to maintain a 24-month lead time. Funding decrease from $1198.264 million in FY 2025 to $1168.227 million in FY 2026 due to decrease in quantities to be procured. The total production capacity is 14,004 rockets inclusive of all variants. The AAO is 140,004. GMLRS is part of the Army Transformation Initiative. In accordance with Section 1815 of the FY 2008 National Defense Authorization Act (P.L. 110-181), this item is necessary for use by the active and reserve components of the Armed Forces for homeland defense missions, domestic emergency responses, and providing military support to civil authorities. FY 2024 quantities are suppressed to avoid the disclosure of sensitive information.

Award linkage is shown for 32 of 200 profiled companies — high- and medium-confidence USAspending matches, each row labeled; medium is the weaker evidence. why partial award coverage? →
Rows marked medium rest on evidence weaker than a program-level match, and of more than one kind. An account-based row, where the award drew from the same appropriation account as this program, is an association, not evidence that this program paid for the contract. Where the evidence is instead an FPDS acquisition-program tag or a subaward description, the program is established but which of its budget lines paid is not. An announcement link a recorded review did not leave standing is medium too. Only high rows rest on the contract naming this program with a recorded review upholding it and no recorded rejection or refutation applying.

Contractor concentration
No concentration index is published for this line. This line's high-confidence links do not clear the floor for a published concentration index — at least 3 awards across 2 contractor families holding positive obligations, with positive net linked dollars. An index below that floor is a fact about the sample, not about the market. Whatever further links this line carries are medium-confidence, and what each medium evidence path does and does not establish is set out in the methodology. Both bases are in the downloadable warehouse.

What it is
- Guided MLRS Rocket (GMLRS) (budget line 6005C64400) is a U.S. Army procurement line funded in the Missile Procurement, Army account.
- GMLRS rockets are surface-to-surface artillery rockets fired from the Multiple Launch Rocket System (MLRS) and High Mobility Artillery Rocket System (HIMARS) launchers, providing all-weather precision fires against area and point targets at short, medium, and long ranges.
- The program has two variants in full-rate production — the GMLRS Unitary, with a 200-pound high-explosive warhead for point targets, and the GMLRS Alternative Warhead (AW), a non-cluster munition for area targets — plus an Extended Range (ER) GMLRS Unitary variant now in production.
- The FY2026 base request supports procurement of 5,974 rockets, with Army guidance to buy 2,814 Standard Unitary, 2,934 Standard AW, and 228 ER GMLRS Unitary rounds in support of the Army's Total Munitions Requirement.
Why it matters
- The line's total funding is $1,168,227 thousand (about $1.17 billion) requested for FY2026, down slightly from $1,198,264 thousand enacted in FY2025.
- In FY2024 the line recorded actual spending of $1,398,086 thousand (about $1.40 billion), so the FY2026 request continues below recent execution levels.
- The entire FY2026 request is discretionary funding — the P-1 exhibit shows a discretionary request of $1,168,227 thousand and no separate reconciliation (mandatory) request for this line.
- The program's justification attributes the funding decrease from $1,198.264 million in FY2025 to $1,168.227 million in FY2026 to a decrease in the quantity of rockets to be procured.
- The line matters because GMLRS is a high-demand precision-fires munition covered by a four-year Multi-Year Procurement contract spanning FY2024 through FY2027, and it is part of the Army Transformation Initiative.
Key players
- The line is run by the U.S. Army, with funding drawn from the Missile Procurement, Army appropriation.
- The U.S. Marine Corps also procures GMLRS rockets through the Army project office, making it a shared precision-fires acquisition.
