M270 MLRS & HIMARS

Vai odotetaanko jotain mitä on pian tuloillaan? Eipä noita perusteluja yleensä isoon ääneen huudella.
Wiki Varman Tiedon lähteenä. mutta eiköhän tuosta nyt jotain selviä. Muistaakseni siinä oli myös myyjäpuolen mielipide että sitä ei "juuri nyt" (2014) kannata hankkia.

In 2007, the Army terminated the ATACMS program due to cost, ending the ability to replenish stocks. To sustain the remaining inventory, the ATACMS Service Life Extension Program (SLEP) was launched, which refurbishes or replaces propulsion and navigation systems, replaces cluster munition warheads with the unitary blast fragmentation warhead, and adds a proximity fuze option to obtain area effects; deliveries are projected to start in 2018. The ATACMS SLEP is a bridging initiative to provide time to complete analysis and development of a successor capability to the aging ATACMS stockpile, which could be ready around 2022.[17]

In January 2015, Lockheed Martin received a contract to develop and test new hardware for Block I ATACMS missiles to eliminate the risk of unexploded ordnance by 2016.[2][3] The first modernized Tactical Missile System (TACMS) was delivered on 28 September 2016 with updated guidance electronics and added capability to defeat area targets using a unitary warhead without leaving behind unexploded ordnance.[18][19] Lockheed was awarded a production contract for launch assemblies as part of the SLEP on 2 August 2017.[20]

In October 2016, it was revealed that the ATACMS would be upgraded with an existing seeker to enable it to strike moving targets on land and at sea,[21] but that plan was terminated in December 2020 to pursue other missile efforts.[22]

Precision Strike Missile[edit]​

In March 2016, Lockheed Martin, Boeing, and Raytheon announced they would offer a missile to meet the U.S. Army's Long Range Precision Fires (LRPF) requirement to replace the ATACMS.
 
Pitkän matkan puikkojen hankintamääristä onko mitään tornareita tai muuta tietoa?

Kiinnosti itseänikin, joten pikainen googletus..
