Lockheed Martin has successfully demonstrated a double launch of its advanced Precision Strike Missile (PrSM) during a recent production qualification flight test.
The trial, conducted in collaboration with the US Army, involved two PrSM missiles launched from a HIMARS launcher, targeting a designated target set.
According to the company, the missiles met all criteria for flight trajectory, range, and accuracy from launch to impact.
“PrSM demonstrates exceptional system performance and reliability,” said Carolyn Orzechowski, Lockheed’s VP for Precision Fires Launchers and Missiles.
“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 success of the double launch brings the PrSM closer to full-rate production and fielding.
A Next-Generation Weapon
The PrSM is a next-generation surface-to-surface weapon designed to counter advanced threats.
With a range exceeding 400 kilometers (248 miles), it provides military units with extended lethality for critical missions.
The missile features an open systems architecture, enabling future upgrades without the need for costly overhauls.
It is compatible with both the M142 HIMARS and M270A2 MLRS (Multiple Launch Rocket System) launchers.
The PrSM will replace the Army Tactical Missile System and is expected to achieve initial operational capability by 2028.
