And we're back around to POLAR. Because if you're putting GMLRS in a VLS, you might as well take advantage of the cell depth and extend the rocket motor significantly.
What would be interresting (or atleast the performance it could achieve) when we take a POLAR sized GMLRS-ER using an SDB glider with an GMLRS warhead (i heard they had tested something like that). Range could be quite big

Yeah, that would go a long, long way. I'm not sure the last increment from a glider would offset the potential of a much larger bang in a purely ballistic version.

The other proposed weapon from the same era that might be worth revisiting is the Vertical-launch Autonomous Attack System, which was a VL ASROC booster with multiple (3 or 4, I think) LOCAAS attack drones as a payload. LOCAAS seems like exactly the sort of munition that would be useful these days.
