Secret. System accuracy, lethality, and 

effectiveness data are classified Secret. 

System response time and most 

trajectory data are classified 

Confidential. Range, reliability, and 

maintainability data are Unclassified. 

Countermeasures and countercountermeasures are classified Secret. 

3. M31A1 Guided Multiple Launch 

Rocket System (GMLRS) Unitary. 

GMLRS Unitary uses a Unitary High 

Explosive (HE) Warhead along with GPS 

PPS-aided IMU based guidance and 

control for ground-to-ground precision 

point targeting. GPS PPS is not required 

for GMLRS to meet its effectiveness 

threshold. Additionally, GMLRS 

Unitary uses an Electronic Safe and Arm 

Fuze (ESAF) along with a nose mounted 

proximity sensor to give enhanced 

effectiveness to the GMLRS Unitary 

rocket by providing tri-mode warhead 

functionality with point detonate, point 

detonate with programmable delay, or 

Height of Burst proximity function. 

Control of the rocket in flight is 

accomplished by fins (canards) located 

in the nose section. GMLRS Unitary 

M31A1A1 end-item is comprised of a 

Launch Pod Container (LPC) and six 

GMLRS Unitary Rockets. The LPC can 

be loaded in the M270A1, M142 

HIMARS, or in the European M270 

launcher. The LPC provides a protective 

environment for the GMLRS Unitary 

during shipment and storage, and serves 

as an expendable launch rail when the 

GMLRS Unitary Rocket is fired. The 

height, width, length, and other features 

of the LPC are exactly the same as for 

the MLRS rocket LPC. The LPC is a 

controlled breathing type container 

equipped with desiccant for humidity 

control. The forward and aft LPC covers 

are designed to fracture as the rocket 

egresses from the container. The GMLRS 

rocket utilizes technologies in the 

guidance and control subsystem and the 

rocket motor that appear on the Military 

Critical Technologies List. The most 

serious consequences of unauthorized 

disclosure of information concerning 

the guidance and control subsystem are 

the accelerated development of 

countermeasures and manufacturing 

capability by other nations. Components 

of the GMLRS system are considered 

highly resistant to reverse engineering 

and the impact of loss or diversion of 

the end item hardware would have 

minimum adverse impact. However, 

technical data for production of the 

RLG, or for production, processing, 

fabrication, and loading of the solid 

propellant rocket motor are directly 

applicable to the development and 

production of accurate, long-range 

rocket and missile systems. In addition, 

the RLG and accelerometers would have 

applicability to aircraft, space and 

submarine programs. Lithium battery 

technology has applicability in a 

number of areas such as smart 

munitions, communications, etc. 

Production technology for the GMLRS 

motor exceeds limits established in the 

Missile Technology Control Regime. 

4. Missile Technology Control Regime 

(MTCR). The HIMARS and associated 

munitions are MTCR Category II 

controlled. The MTCR controlled items 

will be identified and reported as part 

of the MTCR process. 

5. If a technologically advanced 

adversary were to obtain knowledge of 

the specific hardware and software 

elements, the information could be used 

to develop countermeasures which 

might reduce weapon system 

effectiveness or be used in the 

development of a system with similar or 

advanced capabilities. 

6. A determination has been made 

that the recipient country can provide 

the same degree of protection for the 

sensitive technology being released as 

the U.S. Government. This sale is 

necessary in furtherance of the U.S. 

foreign policy and national security 

objectives outlined in the Policy 

Justification. 

7. All defense articles and services 

listed in this transmittal have been 

authorized for release and export to the 

United Arab Emirates.
