Raytheon Completes Third Successful Flight Test of Army Rocket Program

Raytheon, an RTX business, demonstrated its DeepStrike JR3 solution in a third successful flight test for the U.S. Army, as the service works toward replacing its Reduced Range Practice Rocket.

The test took place at Yuma Proving Ground in Arizona. DeepStrike JR3 is a solution for the Army’s Joint Reduced Range Rocket program.

“DeepStrike JR3 meets the performance the Army expects from a training rocket while driving down cost and complexity,” said Brian Burton, Raytheon vice president of Precision Fires & Maneuver.
