# Army Demonstrates GMLRS Retargeting at White Sands

On October 28, 2026, Lockheed Martin and the U.S. Army demonstrated at White Sands Missile Range that a datalink package could redirect a GMLRS rocket in flight to engage a moving target. Lockheed Martin said the approach could also apply to Extended Range GMLRS and Precision Strike munitions. The test is a technology demonstration, not a contract award or solicitation; the signals identify no funding value or procurement timeline.

- The demonstration points to potential integration work involving datalinks, targeting systems, and launch platforms as the Army pursues networked precision fires.
- Contractors with relevant integration capabilities can assess how their technologies could support GMLRS and the other munitions identified by Lockheed Martin; no specific procurement opportunity is announced.
- Procurement teams should distinguish demonstrated capability from a funded requirement: the signals provide no solicitation, award, or stated acquisition schedule.
