HIMARS flex, coming to an ADF in desperate need of more firepower, soon?
I note it is envisaged as a PAC-3 missile launch system too, which may just become handy for a nation looking to embark (with it’s usual sense of snail like urgency...) on a medium ranged air defence acquisition project…

HIMARS FLEX – Modernized for Mission Flexibility
Introducing HIMARS FLEX, a modular evolution of the legendary HIMARS launcher. Utilizing the all-new FLEXFires technology ecosystem, HIMARS FLEX will provide new munition and autonomy options, enabling more mission capability while retaining the precision and proven deterrence HIMARS delivers.

HIMARS resupply vehicle is going to have to stick around and load the missile pods onto the launcher. Where as before they could drop the pods for a whole battery rather quickly and the launch crews would load the podsHIMARS flex, coming to an ADF in desperate need of more firepower, soon?

Came across this Australian National Audit Office report, which answers a question about the HIMARs programme, which
was previously unknown. The Foreign Military Sales notification notes that Australia is buying the HIMARs Resupply Vehicles (M1084A2)
but there was no mention of numbers. The ANAO report reveals that as part of the initial buy of 42 HIMARS launchers, 54
ReSupply Vehicles were purchased. So perhaps around another 60 RSVs will be purchased as part of the second buy of 48 HIMARS Launchers.
