Lockheed Martin officially offered its High Mobility Artillery Rocket System (HIMARS) to France.
The proposal includes an expedited 18-month delivery timeline upon contract signing.
France aims to replace its aging LRU multiple-launch rocket systems through the FLP-T program.
The existing LRU fleet is scheduled for retirement as early as 2027.
France allocated approximately €600 million ($692 million) for the replacement program.
The funding falls under the country's 2024-2030 Military Programming Act.
The U.S. government provided pricing and delivery details for the HIMARS acquisition in early 2026.
Lockheed Martin faces competition from other defense firms for the contract.
