The cost of an M31 missile is estimated at $500,000, [66] though this may be the "export price", always higher than the amount charged to the U.S. Army. [67] According to the U.S. Army's budget, it will pay about $168,000 for each GMLRS in 2023.
[1] [2] The GMARS is currently competing against the Euro-PULS to replace the German Army's MARS II systems. [2] It is said by Rheinmetall and Lockheed Martin that the GMARS will be able to use the GMLRS, ER GMRLS, ATACMS, and Precision Strike Missile missiles. There are currently plans to integrate Surface-Launch Cruise Missiles and 122 mm ...
The missile carries the 500-pound (230 kg) WDU-18/B penetrating high explosive blast fragmentation warhead of the US Navy's Harpoon anti-ship missile, which was packaged into the newly designed WAU-23/B warhead section. Range: 70–300 km (43–186 mi). 176 M48 were produced between 2001 and 2004, when production ceased in favor of the M57.
For comparison purposes, the cost of a single M31 missile is estimated at $500,000, [16] though this may be the "export price", always higher than the amount charged to the U.S. Army. [31] According to the U.S. Army's budget, it will pay about $168,000 for each GMLRS in 2023.
The most advanced Western-supplied artillery system, the M142 High Mobility Artillery Rocket System (HIMARS), has been supplied with M31 GMLRS rockets, which have a maximum range of about 50 miles.
Chinese militaries later created multiple rocket launchers that fired up to 100 small fire-arrow rockets simultaneously. The typical powder section of the arrow-rockets was 1/3 to 1/2 ft (10 to 15 cm) long. Bamboo arrow shafts varied from 1.5 ft (45 cm) to 2.5 ft (75 cm) long and the striking distance reached 300 to 400 paces.
For instance, the cost of an SM-6 may vary by more than 100% depending on which version is examined, from about $4.25 million for Block I/IA to about $8.5 million in 2024 costs for Block IB. Costs in general appear to decline over time for United States weapons of the same version. [83]
One such round is the M1122, built from recycled D563s mostly filled with concrete topped with some explosive filling. As a training round, the M1122 has one-seventh the explosive impact at one-third the cost of a standard M795 high-explosive shell. [7] The U.S. Army is seeking a replacement of DPICMs from the Alternative Warhead Program (AWP).
