An upgraded version of the legacy M26 rocket, the GMLRS is a short-range, road-mobile, solid-propellant artillery rocket. It is designed to destroy ground targets at a distance of up to 70km, with minimal collateral damage.

The system is fired from M270A1 MLRS and M142 high-mobility artillery rocket system launchers, and can engage moving ground targets with high-explosive grenades designed for use against both personnel and vehicles.

It can also destroy surface-to-air missile sites, airfields, or communication centres.

In March, the Jordanian Government requested an estimated $192m sale of M31 unitary GMLRS rocket pods.
