Lockheed Martin reported Oct. 28 that it redirected a GMLRS rocket in flight during a recent test with the U.S. Army at White Sands Missile Range, New Mexico.[1] The rocket destroyed a moving target, the company said.[1]

Lockheed funded the integration of the Strigo datalink and Remote Interceptor Guidance-360 (RIG-360).[1] After launching the rocket from a HIMARS launcher, the team used those systems to update its target while it was in flight.[1] The release does not give the test date or describe any Army plan to buy or field the capability.[1]

## Why it matters

Lockheed says the capability would give commanders a way to adjust pre-programmed strikes if battlefield conditions change.[1] The company also says the datalink package is directly applicable to other precision fires munitions, including Extended Range GMLRS and the Precision Strike Missile (PrSM).[1]
