Lockheed Martin is under contract to incorporate two new upgrades to the current MLRS® system. The new M270A1 launcher appears identical to existing M270s while incorporating an Improved Fire Control System (IFCS) and an Improved Launcher Mechanical System (ILMS). M270A1 launchers feature improved survivability, reduced operating cost, increased munition options and GPS navigation. The U.S. Army will begin converting the U.S. MLRS fleet to M270A1 in 2002.
