Lockheed Martin Advances PrSM Program with Modular Seeker and Enhanced Capability

Lockheed Martin has conducted the first flight test for the Army’s Precision Strike Missile (PrSM) Increment 2, a multimode seeker designed to hit maritime targets on the move. The seeker was successfully launched from a M142 High Mobility Artillery Rocket System (HIMARS) and can also launch from a M270A2 Multiple Launch Rocket System. The program is currently in the technology-maturation phase and is expected to deliver long-range capability to defeat moving land and maritime threats. Lockheed Martin plans to conduct additional flight tests later this year and hopes to purchase the first 10 Increment 2 seekers in June or July. The announcement was made by Lockheed Martin Tactical Missiles, with Lockheed’s Precision Fires Launchers and Missiles portfolio vice president Carolyn Orzechowski stating that the company is committed to delivering the capability to the warfighter.
