Developed for Precision
The Army Tactical Missile System (ATACMS) was first deployed by the United States Army in 1991 during Operation Desert Storm. Developed by Lockheed Martin, it is a surface-to-surface missile designed to strike targets deep within enemy territory with high precision.
Unmatched Range
With a range of up to 300 kilometers (186 miles), the ATACMS can reach high-value targets such as command centers, airfields, and infrastructure. It is launched from the M270 Multiple Launch Rocket System (MLRS) or the M142 HIMARS, giving it battlefield versatility.
War-Proven Effectiveness
The ATACMS was first used in combat during the Gulf War. Since then, it has been employed in various conflicts, including the Iraq War and operations in Afghanistan, demonstrating its ability to hit targets accurately and minimize collateral damage.
Global Impact
As of today, ATACMS is used not only by the U.S. military but also by allied nations, solidifying its role in modern warfare.
