Lockheed Martin has reached a key production milestone with the delivery of its 750th High Mobility Artillery Rocket System (HIMARS), as output continues to ramp up for the U.S. Army and allied operators worldwide.
Introduced in 2005, the HIMARS remains a core element of the U.S. Army’s long-range precision fires strategy, valued for its mobility, precision, and adaptability.
Production at Lockheed’s Camden, Arkansas facility has doubled—from 48 to 96 launchers annually—following a $2.9 billion Army investment that funded new tooling, additional assembly lines, and supplier expansion. A nationwide network of subcontractors, including small precision manufacturers, supports the accelerated pace.
The HIMARS platform continues to evolve, now integrating next-generation weapons such as the Precision Strike Missile (PrSM) and Extended Range Guided Multiple Launch Rocket System (ER GMLRS).
Globally, the system is now fielded by 14 partner nations. Recent deliveries include six launchers to Estonia and 21 to Italy, reinforcing NATO’s precision strike capabilities. In the Indo-Pacific, Australia conducted its first live-fire drills with HIMARS during Exercise Talisman Sabre 2025, while Taiwan began initial test firings and formed a dedicated HIMARS unit to enhance deterrence.
Thanks to its modular architecture, HIMARS can accommodate future munitions without major redesigns, ensuring its relevance in multi-domain operations for decades to come.
