The Global Mobile Artillery Rocket System (GMARS, /ˈɡmɑːrz/) is a multiple rocket launcher built and designed by Rheinmetall and Lockheed Martin, with them first partnering up in 2023. It is claimed to be capable of providing fire support at a range of up to 400 km (250 mi). It is similar to the M270 multiple launch rocket system and has a two-pod launcher that can fire the MLRS Family of Munitions as well as MGM-140 ATACMS and Precision Strike Missile.[1] It was first shown at Eurosatory 2024 and is said to be on the chassis of an HX 8x8 tactical truck.[2]
The GMARS is projected to replace the German Army's MARS II systems.[2]
