US Defense's video: Here s next-gen PrSM Missiles Move Quickly From Prototype to Deployment

Here's next-gen PrSM Missiles Move Quickly From Prototype to Deployment. The Precision Strike Missile (PrSM) is a next-generation, low-risk, long-range surface-to-surface missile developed for neutralising and destroying targets through indirect fires. It is being developed and manufactured primarily for the US Army by aerospace and defence company Lockheed Martin. The PrSM is an improvement over the existing Army Tactical Missile System (ATACMS) missiles. It will replace the US Army’s current inventory of non-insensitive munitions and the cluster munition policy-compliant ATACMS. The new ballistic missile will provide armies with the capability to neutralise a range of enemy threats, including missile launchers, air defence systems, troop assembly/staging areas, command and control (C2) centres, and high pay-off targets. Precision strike missiles development and testing Lockheed Martin was awarded the sole source contract for the Enhanced TMRR (ETMRR) phase in December 2019, following the completion of the first flight test of its prototype at White Sands Missile Range, New Mexico. The company completed three successful prototype tests by April 2020. All the tests were conducted using Lockheed Martin’s High Mobility Artillery Rocket System (HIMARS) launcher. The nominal tests were conducted by the US Army’s LRPF CFT and its partners, the Strategic and Operational Rockets and Missiles (STORM) Project Office, White Sands Missile Range, and Lockheed Martin to demonstrate the missile’s capabilities such as egress from the launcher, trajectory to target, and warhead detonation. The third test firing marked the final phase of the PrSM TMRR flight test phase.
