According to Lockheed Martin, the PrSM exceeded expectations in this second long-range test. “We successfully conducted a second test at Vandenberg Space Force Base to meet the extended range requirement, and PrSM exceeded expectations,” said Carolyn Orzechowski, vice president of Precision Fires Launchers and Missiles.
Orzechowski highlighted the missile’s evolving capabilities, calling it a “game-changing capability” for the U.S. Army. She added, “We are dedicated to rigorously testing the system to ensure it meets the utmost standards of performance and reliability, providing our warfighters with a superior advantage on the battlefield.”
The recent trial follows a similar successful test conducted in February, reinforcing the missile’s growing reliability. The PrSM is designed to engage targets at distances beyond 400 kilometres, significantly extending the Army’s precision strike reach.
Its modular design and open systems architecture enable compatibility with existing launch platforms such as HIMARS and M270. These features make the PrSM a vital component in the U.S. Army’s ongoing modernisation efforts.
