Precision Strike Missile (PrSM)

Abstract

Precision Strike Missile (PrSM) is the Army's next generation surface-to-surface missile that replaces and improves upon Army Tactical Missile System (ATACMS) capabilities. The mission of the PrSM System is to attack/ neutralize/suppress/destroy targets using missile delivered indirect precision fires. PrSM will provide Joint Force Commanders with a 24/7, all-weather capability to attack critical and time sensitive area and point targets including threat air defense, missile launchers, command and control centers, assembly/staging areas and high payoff targets at all depths of the multi-domain battlefield. PrSM will counter the enemy's ability to conduct combat maneuver and air defense operations. PrSM requirements include: max range of greater than 400 kilometers (km), specified lethality against the designated target set, a Launch Pod Missile Container (LPMC) that holds two missiles, survivability in a threat environment, and compatibility with the existing launcher platforms (M270A2 Multiple Launch Rocket System (MLRS) and M142 High Mobility Artillery Rocket System (HIMARS)). PrSM will meet cluster and insensitive munition requirements and is being designed with an open system architecture that provides the capability for future growth to counter new and emerging threats. Increment 2 of PrSM will include the ability to attack mobile or relocatable ground and maritime targets. Future PrSM increments will provide increased lethality against hardened targets and extend range capability to 650km. FY 2022 base dollars in the amount of $188.452 million supports the continuation of PrSM Increment 1 Engineering and Manufacturing Development (EMD) and efforts toward Increment 2. Increment 1 EMD activities in FY 2022 include system level ground and safety testing, Government launcher software integration, model and simulation verification and validation and missile system build up in support of FY 2023 Production Qualification flight testing. Increment 2 activities involve coordinating with seeker developer to finalize prototype design ahead of 4QFY22 Preliminary Design Review and ordering of materials for initial system integration. The prime contractor will continue integration studies and refactoring efforts to package the final Land-Based Anti-Ship Missile (LBASM) seeker solution into the PrSM missile prior to system level prototype flight testing.
