Lockheed Martin won a contract to build Guided Multiple Launch Rocket System (GMLRS) for the US Army, the US Department of Defense (DoD) announced on 27 April.

The contract – worth up to USD4.79 billion – would task Lockheed with manufacturing two full-rate production lots of the GMLRS Unitary and Alternative Warhead rockets that are frequently used in the Ukraine conflict by 2026, according to the DoD.
