The M270 launcher upgrade with new artillery options will enable the Finnish Army launchers to fire precision GPS-guided munitions for the first time.

Lockheed Missiles and Fire Control vice-president Scott Arnold said the upgrade would allow full-range usage of MLRS precision munitions, including GMLRS unitary and army tactical missile system (ATACMS).

The MLRS M270 launcher and its munitions are designed to enable troops to target and destroy artillery, air defence concentrations, trucks, light armour and personnel carriers, support troop and supply lines.
