Lockheed Martin used Eurosatory 2026 to unveil HIMARS FLEX, a modular evolution of the M142 that doubles loadout density and extends the launcher into air and missile defence roles. The design adds the FLEXFires ecosystem, dual-pod carriage, and optional autonomy while keeping the C-130-transportable chassis and shoot-and-scoot profile that define HIMARS.
The company is positioning the system around NATO common munitions, including GMLRS, ER GMLRS, PrSM, ATACMS and PAC-3, with IFPC also in the envelope. That mix gives operators a single mobile fires platform for precision strike and layered defence, but it remains a concept launch, with no contract, delivery schedule or field test disclosed.
