Overview
- On Sept. 26 at White Sands Missile Range, soldiers launched four PrSM Increment 1 missiles at targets about 200 kilometers away.
- The Army reports the missiles met objectives for range, trajectory, accuracy, and height of burst, with initial lethality assessed as nominal.
- The test used existing M270A2 and M142 HIMARS launchers, confirming compatibility with current Army platforms.
- PrSM is designed to replace ATACMS with ranges exceeding 400 kilometers and two missiles per launcher, increasing battery firepower.
- The program follows a March 2025 contract worth up to $4.9 billion for an initial 400 missiles and features an open, modular architecture to support future upgrades.
