This construction was developed in cooperation with the Norwegian Kongsberg and the Australian branch of Thales as an manufacture proposal for the LAND 8113 programme. Its goal is to get rocket artillery with a scope of respective 100 kilometres, which has so far attracted 20 of the 42 planned U.S. multi-guided M142 HIMARS launchers. Thus, the StrikeMaster was to be a counter-offer for the acquisition of further mentioned structures. In the end, however, Australia acquired another [22 HIMARS-y](https://defence24.pl/power-arms/first-himars-y-dla-Australia-delivered) and received approval to buy [next 48 copies](https://defence24.pl/power-arms/Australia-porous-raciety-nsm-z-himars).
