The M142 High Mobility Artillery Rocket System (HIMARS / ˈ h aɪ m ɑːr z /) is a light multiple rocket launcher developed in the late 1990s for the United States Army and mounted on a standard U.S. Army Family of Medium Tactical Vehicles (FMTV) M1140 truck frame.
It uses solid propellant and is 13 feet (4.0 m) long and 24 inches (610 mm) in diameter, and the longest-range variants can fly up to 190 miles (300 km). [9] The missiles can be fired from the tracked M270 Multiple Launch Rocket System (MLRS) and the wheeled M142 High Mobility Artillery Rocket System (HIMARS).
Both Lockheed Martin and the U.S. Army report that the GMLRS has a maximum range of 70+ km (43+ mi). [71] [72] According to a U.S. Department of Defense document the maximum demonstrated performance of a GMLRS is 84 km (52 mi), [73] a figure also reported elsewhere. [55] [64] Another source reports a maximum range of about 90 km (56 mi). [74]

In 2009 the US Army test fired the SL-AMRAAM from a HIMARS artillery rocket launcher as a common launcher, as part of a move to switch to a larger and more survivable launch platform. [ 3 ] [ 4 ] Since the missile is launched without the benefit of an aircraft's speed or high altitude, its range is considerably shorter.
The PHL-03 uses the 300 mm rockets of the BRE family, namely the BRC4, BRE2 and the guided Fire Dragon 140A which have a range of 130 km (81 mi). [2] A standard weight for each rocket is 800 kg (1,800 lb) with a 280 kg (620 lb) warhead. Maximum firing range is depending on warhead type with around 70–130 km (43–81 mi).
Maximum range is constrained by use of the existing Hydra 70 motor, but since the seeker can see as far as 14 km (8.7 mi), a more powerful motor could extend range while retaining accuracy. [11] Nammo is working on a modified rocket motor that can extend range to 12–15 km (7.5–9.3 mi).
The maximum range is 50 km for the 122 mm rocket and 70 km for the 220 mm rocket. First unveiled in IDEX 2017 mounted on a 6x6 assault vehicle (presumably Dongfeng Mengshi). [8] PHL-20 Designation of SR-7 in PLAGF service. [9] PHL-21
