Lockheed Martin-Made Precision Strike Missiles See First Combat Use

The US Central Command has announced the first combat use of Lockheed Martin-made Precision Strike Missiles (PrSMs) during Operation Epic Fury, providing a deep strike capability. The missiles were launched from a M142 High Mobility Artillery Rocket System (HIMARS) and are capable of hitting targets at least 500 kilometers away. Future versions of the PrSM are planned, including Increment 2 with a multimode seeker and Increment 3 with enhanced lethality payloads. The Army has also tapped teams to work on competing PrSM Increment 4 designs with increased range. This development was first reported by Breaking Defense.
