Lockheed Martin Delivers 100,000th GMLRS Rocket

Lockheed Martin delivered its 100,000th Guided Multiple Launch Rocket System (GMLRS) rocket and increased its production rate to nearly 14,000 rockets per year. The company reached these milestones ahead of schedule to address the rising demand for the precision strike weapon used by the U.S. Army and its international allies.

To support this acceleration, the company is increasing the workforce at its Camden, Arkansas, facility by 50% and investing in local technical training and high school hiring initiatives.

In a separate effort to improve supply chain resiliency, Lockheed Martin and General Dynamics Ordnance and Tactical Systems completed the first ground test of a new solid rocket motor for the GMLRS. This collaboration aims to establish a third domestic source for the component by 2027.
