Lockheed Martin and U.S. Army successfully validate Precision Strike Missile (PrSM) readiness

This test is part of ongoing evaluations to confirm the missile’s accuracy, reliability, and readiness for operational use. “PrSM demonstrates exceptional system performance and reliability,” said Carolyn Orzechowski, Vice President of Precision Fires Launchers and Missiles at Lockheed Martin. She added, “We continue to advance this credible deterrent, integrating 21st Century Security® technologies into the baseline and future variants in support of cross-domain and maritime operations.”

The PrSM is a next-generation, surface-to-surface missile designed for long-range precision strikes, capable of engaging targets at distances greater than 400 kilometres. It features an open systems architecture to allow for affordability, flexibility, and modularity for future enhancements. The weapon is compatible with both the M142 HIMARS and M270A2 MLRS platforms.

This latest test follows the awarding of the fourth Early Operational Capability (EOC) contract in March, further validating the production process. The PrSM represents a key component of the U.S. Army’s modernisation efforts to address emerging threats and maintain operational advantage across multiple domains.
