Lockheed Martin Redirects In-Flight GMLRS Rocket to Destroy Moving Target in Army Test
- Lockheed Martin on Oct. 28, 2026, announced its first successful in-flight redirection of a GMLRS rocket during a U.S. Army test.
- The HIMARS-launched rocket destroyed a moving target following an in-flight targeting update using the Strigo datalink and RIG-360 guidance system.
- Internally funded integration demonstrated targeting flexibility without fundamental missile changes, allowing commanders to adjust strikes as battlefield conditions change.
- The datalink package is also applicable to Extended Range GMLRS and Precision Strike Missile, potentially extending networked targeting across other munitions.
