GMLRS: The 70 Kilometer Sniper Rifle.

The Guided Multiple Launch Rocket System (GMLRS) often known as the "70-kilometer sniper rifle," is an all-weather, precision-guided rocket that improves accuracy and reduces the number of rockets required to defeat targets. Technically, the GMLRS Alternative Warhead can engage the same targets and achieve the same area-effects as the old MLRS submunition warheads, but without the lingering danger of unexploded ordnance. Additionally, the GMLRS can fire guided and unguided projectiles at targets as far away as 26 miles. The system also can fire the Army Tactical Missile System at targets as far away as 190 miles.
