Overview
- Lockheed Martin conducted the first flight of the Precision Strike Missile Increment 2, which adds a seeker to home on moving maritime and land targets.
- During the test, the missile launched from a HIMARS launcher and flew more than 200 miles, meeting objectives reported by the company.
- Lockheed says two additional Increment 2 flight tests are planned this year as development advances.
- Increment 1 of PrSM has already been used in combat, with U.S. Central Command confirming strikes during Operation Epic Fury against targets in Iran.
- Both PrSM variants are compatible with HIMARS and the M270A2 MLRS, and a Defense One commentary urges faster procurement after buys of 98 in FY 2024, 230 in FY 2025, and 124 in FY 2026.
