US Army Conducts Successful Precision Strike Missile Test at Vandenberg

News summary

The U.S. Army successfully conducted a flight test of its next-generation Precision Strike Missile (PrSM) on March 19 at Vandenberg Space Force Base, demonstrating its extended range capabilities. Launched from a High Mobility Artillery Rocket System (HIMARS), the PrSM missile showcased stable flight characteristics and performed nominally throughout the test, reinforcing its role in enhancing long-range precision fires capabilities. The PrSM is set to replace the aging Army Tactical Missile System, providing greater range and lethality. This test follows a series of previous successful launches and is part of the Army's ongoing efforts to modernize its missile arsenal amid rising global tensions. Lockheed Martin has been involved in developing the PrSM, which is designed for effective joint operations across multiple domains. The Army aims to ensure these missiles can neutralize targets over distances exceeding 300 miles, reflecting its commitment to maintaining a tactical advantage on the battlefield.
