Aerojet Rocketdyne Teams with Lockheed Martin to Develop Long Range Maneuverable Fires Missile
June 21 2023 - 12:00PM
Aerojet Rocketdyne will develop an advanced propulsion solution for
the Long Range Maneuverable Fires (LRMF) missile that Lockheed
Martin is developing for the U.S. Army.
The LRMF missile is a precision fires missile that will launch
from existing U.S. Army launchers, like HIMARS, to engage targets
at ranges that significantly exceed those of the Precision Strike
Missile (PrSM) baseline.
“Aerojet Rocketdyne propulsion has powered U.S. Army systems for
decades, and we look forward to leveraging that experience and our
talented workforce to develop next-generation missiles with
significantly extended range,” said Eileen P. Drake, Aerojet
Rocketdyne CEO and president. “In addition to providing Soldiers
the edge in offensive operations, this extended range missile will
serve as a powerful deterrent, promising effective strike
capabilities from long ranges.”
The LRMF program is using a multi-phased development approach;
the current phase focuses on design and risk-reduction
activities.
