Lockheed Martin Tests JR3 Rocket Prototype for Enhanced Training

Lockheed Martin has unveiled its Joint Reduced Range Rocket (JR3), a prototype designed to replace the existing Low-Cost Reduced Range Practice Rocket for the U.S. Army and allies. Successfully tested at White Sands Missile Range, the JR3 showcases reusability and affordability, allowing soldiers to efficiently conduct live-fire training using the same pod and tube. With a capacity of over 20 rockets, it enhances training volume without compromising performance, making it adaptable for varied conditions. This advancement may also pave the way for future technologies, supporting the evolution of precision fires capabilities that could potentially benefit global partners, including India, in optimizing their defense training programs.
