Lockheed Martin, in partnership with 4iG Space and Defence Technologies, will assess options to integrate advanced rocket artillery capabilities into Hungary’s armed forces, including mounting Lockheed Martin’s Launcher Loader Module on domestically produced military trucks.
The LLM is fully compatible with M270A2 and HIMARS systems and can be configured to deploy one ATACMS missile, two PrSM missiles, or six Guided MLRS rockets in either standard or extended-range variants.
The collaboration aims to enhance Hungary’s long-range strike capabilities in line with NATO standards, while also fostering joint research, manufacturing, and industrial partnerships.
The move comes after Washington approved Hungary’s HIMARS purchase, which had been delayed when a $735 million deal was blocked in mid-2023 over Hungary’s postponement of Sweden’s NATO accession vote.
Reports indicate the deal may cover up to 24 launchers and roughly 100 missiles, with deliveries expected over the next three to five years.
HIMARS continues to play a pivotal role in reinforcing NATO’s eastern defenses and remains central to modernization programs across allied armed forces.
