High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The High Mobility Artillery Rocket System is a U.S. light multiple rocket launcher mounted on a truck. HIMARS carries six rockets or one Army Tactical Missile System missile on the U.S. Army's new Family of Medium Tactical Vehicles five-ton truck, and can launch the entire Multiple Launch Rocket System family of munitions. HIMARS is interchangeable with the MLRS M270A1, carrying half the rocket load. The vehicle is C-130 transportable and produced by BAE Systems Mobility & Protection Systems, the OEM of the FMTV. The rocket system is produced by Lockheed Martin. In 2002, the United States Marine Corps arranged with the U.S. Army to acquire 40 of the systems. Fielding began in 2005. In July 2007, Marines from Fox Battery 2nd Battalion 14th Marines were deployed to the Al Anbar province of Iraq. This is the first Marine unit to use the HIMARS in combat.
