High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems
Type: system
Definition
High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems (HIMARS) are C-130 transportable, wheeled rocket and missile launcher systems that integrate a launcher module and fire control system onto a 5-ton Family of Medium Tactical Vehicles (FMTV) truck chassis. Designed for rapid, mobile “shoot-and-scoot” employment, each launcher uses a single interchangeable launch pod that can fire the MLRS Family of Munitions, including Guided MLRS (GMLRS) rockets and the Army Tactical Missile System (ATACMS), giving commanders long-range precision fires from a highly deployable platform. Lockheed Martin is the prime manufacturer commonly identified for HIMARS.
