Lockheed Martin and 4iG Space and Defence Technologies have announced plans to examine the integration of Lockheed Martin’s rocket artillery systems in Hungary, including the installation of the company’s Launcher Loader Module (LLM) on Hungarian military truck platforms.
The LLM is designed for high interoperability with existing M270A2 and HIMARS launchers and is capable of carrying one ATACMS missile, two Precision Strike Missiles (PrSM), or six standard- or extended-range Guided Multiple Launch Rocket System (GMLRS) munitions.
This partnership is expected to strengthen Hungary’s NATO-compatible long-range firepower while creating avenues for joint development, localized production, and broader industrial collaboration.
The initiative follows US approval of Hungary’s HIMARS procurement after a proposed $735 million sale was previously stalled in June 2023 due to Budapest’s delay in ratifying Sweden’s NATO membership.
The acquisition package is reported to include up to 24 launcher systems and around 100 missiles, with deliveries anticipated within a three- to five-year timeframe.
HIMARS remains a cornerstone of long-range fire support along NATO’s eastern flank and is a key element in defense modernization efforts across multiple allied countries.
