M142 High Mobility Artillery Rocket System
First announced in mid-2022, the Lockheed
Martin-built M142 High Mobility Artillery Rocket System (HIMARS) will provide
the Australian Army with a next-generation, long-range strike capability.
Australia initially committed to a batch of 20
HIMARS with an additional 22 HIMARS announced in January 2023, with AU$1.6
billion to help accelerate the critical acquisition.
Manufactured by Lockheed Martin, HIMARS provides a
multiple launch rocket system on a wheeled chassis or carrying a six-pack
Guided Multiple Launch Rocket System (GMLRS) or a single tactical cruise
missile.
As part of expanding Australia's long-range strike
capability, Australia's HIMARS will be equipped with the current in-development
Precision Strike Missile (PrSM), expected to provide a maximum striking range
of more than 500 kilometres.
The HIMARS platform is a highly mobile,
combat-proven system, transportable by C-130 or C-17 aircraft, with the first
of Australia's initial batch of HIMARS to be delivered in 2025 and the
remainder expected to be delivered by 2027.
