U.S. Army demonstrates extended-range capability of Precision Strike Missile (PrSM) in California test

By Defence Industry Europe

The U.S. Army has conducted another successful flight test of its Precision Strike Missile (PrSM) Increment 1 on 19 March at Vandenberg Space Force Base in California. The missile was launched from a High Mobility Artillery Rocket System (HIMARS) and travelled over the Pacific Ocean to demonstrate its extended-range capabilities.

 

The test evaluated the missile’s launch process and its ability to maintain a stable flight path throughout the intended trajectory. Officials reported that all performance parameters were met, confirming the missile’s reliability and effectiveness.



 

PrSM is the U.S. Army’s next-generation long-range missile, designed to provide greater range and improved precision in targeting. It plays a key role in enhancing long-range precision fire capabilities across joint military operations.



 

Increment 1 of the system will eventually replace the current Army Tactical Missile System (ATACMS). With increased lethality and range, the new missile aims to strengthen field artillery formations and support more complex combat missions.
