U.S. Army, General Atomics validate LRMP: 155mm winged projectile hits targets 120 km away in GPS‑denied tests

The U.S. Army and General Atomics completed tests of the Long Range Maneuvering Projectile (LRMP), a winged 155mm precision-guided round that struck targets 120 km away in GPS‑denied conditions. The maneuverable munition conducts controlled descents and can engage both static and moving targets.

Briefing

What Hype is tracking

  • Extends tube artillery reach to 120 km with GPS‑denied guidance, narrowing the capability gap with longer-range rockets and missiles; connects to the Army's recent validation of 400+ km PrSM tests.
  • In‑flight maneuverability and controlled‑descent strike profiles enable engagements of moving targets, reflecting a broader shift toward guided glide munitions like recent guided glider bomb demonstrations.
  • Successful LRMP firings signal maturation of long‑range munition concepts alongside propulsion advances such as the HLG solid rocket motor static‑fire, indicating multiple technical paths to extend strike range.
