Lockheed Martin-Made Precision Strike Missiles Prove Deep Strike Capability
The US Army has used Lockheed Martin-made Precision Strike Missiles (PrSMs) in combat for the first time, providing a deep strike capability during Operation Epic Fury. The missiles were launched from a M142 High Mobility Artillery Rocket System (HIMARS) and can hit targets at least 500 kilometers away. The PrSM program is designed to replace the MGM-140 Army Tactical Missile System (ATACMS) and has future versions planned with enhanced lethality and range. As reported by Breaking Defense, the Army has also tapped teams to work on competing PrSM Increment 4 designs with increased range and autonomous launch capabilities.
