The HIMARS is a truck-mounted multiple rocket launcher manufactured by Lockheed Martin. It entered production in the 1990s and was first deployed by the US military in the mid-2000s. The launcher can be mounted with either six GPS-guided, mid-range GMLRS, which are guided missiles with a range of 92 kilometers or one long-range guided ATACMS surface-to-surface missile, with a range of 300 kilometers However, the US has not supplied ATACMS to Ukraine, fearing they would be used to attack Russian soil The HIMARS is manned by three crew members and takes five minutes to reload. A mobile system, it can relocate quickly after launch to protect the crew and system from any return fire from an enemy combatant, an ability called "shoot and scoot."  The US, Romania, Singapore, Untied Arab Emirates, Jordan and now Ukraine are the only countries to currently possess HIMARS.
