Proven Heritage, Expanded Capability

  • Combat Proven?¨C HIMARS FLEX is the next chapter in the iconic story of HIMARS and its more than 2.5?million operating hours worldwide.

  • Interoperable?¨C HIMARS FLEX can share munitions with NATO stockpiles (GMLRS, ER GMLRS, PrSM, ATACMS, PAC-3) and integrate into joint-fire-control networks, creating a deterrence multiplier while staying?C-130 transportable?on the XM1140 chassis.

  • Modular Loadout?¨C Dual-pod configurations can carry double the offensive firepower as well as seamlessly configure for air and missile defense munitions such as PAC-3, IFPC and beyond.?

Tailored for New and Existing Customers

Built-in modularity allows new and current partners to implement the FLEXFires technology necessary for their needs: single-pod baseline, dual-pod ¡°FLEX¡± loadout, multiple platform options (mobile and containerized), as well as autonomy. The result is reduced training and sustainment costs while preserving the ability to adapt to regional needs.

¡°HIMARS FLEX will be a game changer in the future of offensive and defensive fires,¡± said Tim?Cahill, president, Lockheed?Martin?Missiles & Fire Control. ¡°Our FLEXFires technology suite will let operators scale loadout and add autonomous capabilities without sacrificing speed or accuracy.¡±??
