The Global Mobile Artillery Rocket System (GMARS, /ˈɡmɑːrz/) is a wheeled multiple rocket launcher built and designed by Rheinmetall and Lockheed Martin, with them first partnering up in 2023. It is claimed to be capable of providing fire support at a range of up to 400 km (250 mi). It is similar to the M270 multiple launch rocket system and has a two-pod launcher that can fire the MLRS Family of Munitions as well as MGM-140 ATACMS and Precision Strike Missile.^[1] It was first shown at Eurosatory 2024 and is said to be on the chassis of an HX 8x8 tactical truck.^[1]^[2]

The GMARS is projected to replace the German Army's MARS II systems.^[2]

It is said by Rheinmetall to be able to use the GMLRS, ER GMRLS, ATACMS, and Precision Strike Missile missiles. It also is hoped in the future it will use a Surface-Launch Cruise Missile and 122 mm rocket.^[1]
