The MLRS MFOM that can be fired from M270 systems include 12 GMLRS or Extended-Range (ER) GMLRS rockets, 4 Precision Strike Missiles (PrSM) or ATACMS.
澳门开奖历史 is under contract to recapitalize M270s for the U.S. Army, United Kingdom and Italy. 澳门开奖历史, in partnership with the Red River Army Depot, is overhauling the M270s as “zero-time” launchers. Upgrades will completely refurbish launchers to include the following:
- New engines
- New Improved Armored Cabs (IAC)
- New Common Fire Control System (CFCS)
- Upgraded and rebuilt transmissions
- Improved system components
Upgrades will also provide capability to fire the newest next-generation munitions including the Extended-Range GMLRS (ER GMLRS) and Precision Strike Missile (PrSM).
