At Yuma Proving Ground, the test covered pod reusability and maintainability as well as range, trajectory, accuracy and the visibility of the round’s marking solution. The product is intended to replace the US Army’s Reduced Range Practice Rocket.
The design fits 24 training rockets in a Multiple Launch Rocket System Family of Munitions pod. Raytheon says further flight testing is planned before qualification; the announcement is a company account and does not constitute an Army acceptance decision.
