The 200-pound GMLRS-AW high-explosive warhead contains
approximately 160,000 preformed tungsten fragments. This
warhead change eliminates the unexploded ordnance found in
the GMLRS Dual-Purpose Improved Conventional Munitions
rockets.

The PQT demonstrated the GMLRS-AW rocket is reliable
(17 successes in 17 flights) and accurate (median miss
distance of 2.1 meters). Reliability and accuracy were further
demonstrated in the June 2014 DT/OT (15 successes in
15 flights, and median miss distance of 2.7 meters). There
is no system requirement for accuracy. The contractor
specification is less than 15 meters Circular Error Probable
