High Mobility Artillery Rocket
Type: system
Definition
High Mobility Artillery Rocket System (HIMARS) is a U.S. Army fielded, truck-mounted, wheeled rocket and missile launcher designed to deliver rapid, long-range precision fires while staying highly deployable and mobile. Built on an Army tactical truck chassis, it uses a single interchangeable launch pod to fire munitions from the MLRS family, and it is optimized for “shoot-and-scoot” operations, meaning it can position quickly, fire, and relocate to reduce exposure. In U.S. government descriptions, the launcher is commonly defined as a system made up of a chassis, launcher module, and fire control system, and it is produced by Lockheed Martin for U.S. and partner use.
