The '''HIMARS''' ('''High Mobility Artillery Rocket System''') is an American manufactured multiple launch rocket system, or MLRS. Multiple Rocket Launch Systems are the backbone of any Soviet / Russian army. There are, only to name some of many, the GRAD (Short-range), Uragan (middle-range) and Smerch (long-range) MLRS systems. The Russian Smerch is comparable to the American HIMARS system.

The '''M142 High Mobility Artillery Rocket System''' ('''HIMARS''', pronounced "high-mars") is an American manufactured [[multiple launch rocket system]]. It is mounted on an M1140 medium truck frame and carries one pod which can either launch six Guided Multiple Launch rockets or one ATACMS missile.
[[Lockheed Martin]] which builds the HIMAR system and its missiles has a capacity to produce 10,000 GMLRS missiles per year for HIMARS, or ~800 per month. The US has about 1000+ HIMARs launchers, or roughly an ability to launch 100 missiles per year, per unit, if all systems were committed to a fight.
[[Lockheed Martin]]'s Missiles and Fire Control division builds the HIMARS vehicle, the pod, and its accompanying missiles.
The Russian Hurricane M1 has been dubbed the 'HIMAR killer'.
