Скачать или смотреть Inside the HIMARS Factory: How the $5 Million HIMARS Rocket System Is Changing Modern Warfare

Welcome to Global Assembly – today, you’re getting a rare look inside one of the most important defense production lines in the world: the M142 HIMARS assembly line at the Lockheed Martin Precision Fires Center in Camden, Arkansas.

This documentary-style factory tour follows the full build process of the $5 million HIMARS rocket system – the highly mobile “shoot and scoot” launcher that has changed the face of modern artillery warfare. From bare truck chassis to fully integrated, combat-ready rocket system, you’ll see how engineering, automation, and human expertise come together on a massive industrial scale.
