Precision Strike Missile (PrSM) cleared for production, boosting U.S. Army’s long-range firepower

PrSM Increment 1 is designed to attack, neutralise, suppress, and destroy targets at ranges up to 499 kilometres using missile-delivered indirect fires. It provides increased range, lethality, survivability, and missile load-out, supporting the execution of Fires in Multi-Domain Operations.

“This Milestone C decision is a testament to the hard work and dedication of the entire PrSM team,” said Major General Frank Lozano, Program Executive Officer Missiles and Space. “PrSM will provide our Soldiers with a critical capability to engage and defeat threats at extended ranges, enhancing our ability to deter aggression and protect our national security.”

The missile system features a two-per-pod configuration and uses an Inertial Navigation System with Global Positioning System guidance. It includes an insensitive munition (IM) propulsion system and an IM energetic payload tailored to defeat a broad target set.

PrSM is built on an open systems architecture for maximum affordability and flexibility, with a modular design that allows for future growth. The missile is compatible with both HIMARS® and M270A2 MLRS launchers, further enhancing battlefield adaptability.

The PrSM Increment 1’s extended reach and precision strike capability will significantly strengthen the U.S. Army’s capacity to conduct deep fires against high-value targets. This advancement underlines the Army’s commitment to maintaining dominance in future operational environments.
