## What project EG3 buys

The U.S. Army continues to explore ways to enhance Guided Multiple Launch Rocket System (GMLRS) rockets and common components under Project EG3: Guided MLRS. The Army is requesting funding for GMLRS Research, Development, Test and Evaluation (RDT&E) development, integration, and test activities to enhance operational capabilities including increased range, improved lethality and survivability, enhanced flight performance, and Assured Positioning, Navigation and Timing (APNT). FY 2027 funding continues APNT development activities.

**R-3 lines of work:** Management Services; Product Development; Test and Evaluation.

## Activities (R-2A) — 3

> Activities carry the prior, current and budget year only — no five-year plan. In the request year they partition this project exactly; in earlier years they can under-cover it.

### GMLRS Assured Position Navigation and Timing (APNT)

FY 2027 continues the development and integration of an anti-jam module into the GMLRS and ER-GMLRS rockets to enable an initial anti-jam capability. FY 2027 funds also initiate studies, analyses, and performance specification development for hybrid software defined receiver to provide an adaptable solution for evolving threats.

### GMLRS enhancements

**FY2025 accomplishments.** Complete component level design through critical design review (CDR), engineering development flight testing, and system level CDR. Completion of these activities will allow the program to transition to integration activities supporting ground and flight qualification tests. Software testing and materiel release activities will be ongoing for required Type Classification (TC) and Full Materiel Release (FMR) package submission supporting EAW production.

### Extended Range (ER) GMLRS development

**FY2025 accomplishments.** Continue redesign and qualification of the new SMPS to include design verification testing and system qualification. Continues launcher software development support. Build flight termination systems to support operational test flights in FY 2026.

Congressional marks, the R-2 mission description and acquisition strategy, the industry vs government split of the whole request, and related program elements are recorded at **program-element** grain — an NDAA mark lands on a PE, never on a project.
