Precision Strike Missile (PrSM)

Abstract

This funding line is directly aligned to the Army Long Range Precision Fires Modernization Priority. 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 PrSM 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 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. FY 2023 base dollars ($259.506 million) supports continuation of PrSM Increment 1 Engineering and Manufacturing Development (EMD) and efforts to develop an Increment 2 prototype. Increment 1 EMD activities include system level ground, safety and flight testing. PrSM will also conduct missile software testing, along with integration with the Advanced Field Artillery Tactical Data System (AFATDS). On-going PrSM model and simulation efforts will serve to validate and verify system requirements. EMD design and test efforts support a robust and thorough flight test schedule. Increment 2 activities include transitioning the Land-Based Anti-Ship Missile (LBASM) seeker from the Science and Technology sector to the PrSM product office. LBASM/PrSM development and integration efforts will culminate in FY24/25 with PrSM Increment 2 prototype flight testing.
