Precision Strike Missile (PrSM)
Abstract
Precision Strike Missile (PrSM) funding line is directly aligned to the Army Long Range Precision Fires Modernization Priority. 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. The PrSM program is a component of an integrated fires development effort that includes survivability, resiliency, and effectiveness improvements against advanced threats from near-peer adversaries. These efforts include integration with an evolving common fires mission command, common development tools and processes, and annual test and evaluation to provide data to support program assessments and progress toward closure of performance gaps. PrSM requirements include: threshold max range of 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 (IM) requirements and is designed with an open system approach that provides the capability for future growth to counter new and emerging threats. Increment 2's mission is to attack critical time sensitive moving maritime or relocated land targets. Future PrSM increments will provide increased lethality against hardened targets and extend range capability. FY 2024 Base dollars in the amount of $272.786 million supports continuation of PrSM Increment 1 Engineering and Manufacturing Development (EMD) and efforts to develop and integrate an Increment 2 prototype. Increment 1 EMD activities include system level ground, safety, and flight testing. PrSM will also conduct missile software testing and 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 integrates the Science & Technology (S&T) seeker into the PrSM Increment 1 missile. Increment 2 activities include transitioning the U.S. Army Combat Capabilities Development Command (DEVCOM) Aviation & Missile Center (AvMC) S&T seeker to the PrSM program of record. The FY 2024 focus is on meeting an Army Futures Command Directed Requirement for an FY 2027 Early Operational Capability (EOC). These activities include an Initial Design Review (IDR), Design Verification Testing (DVT), Preliminary Design Review (PDR), launcher software integration, and hardware in the loop activities. These events are in preparation for the PrSM Increment 2 demonstration flight tests that begin 4Q FY 2024.
