U.S. Army Completes Soldier-Led PrSM Flight Tests
The U.S. Army has completed a series of soldier-led flight tests of Lockheed Martin's Precision Strike Missile (PrSM) at White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico.
During the September trials, soldiers launched missiles from both a HIMARS and an M270A2 Multiple Launch Rocket System, marking the first time multiple rockets were fired from both platforms.
"This milestone validates the soldier's ability to fire PrSM from all platforms in the U.S. Army inventory and certifies mission readiness," said Carolyn Orzechowski, Vice President of Precision Fires Launchers and Missiles at Lockheed Martin.
Lockheed Martin stated that the tests validated the Army's ability to employ PrSM across its launcher fleet and represented a key milestone in the service's modernisation priorities.
The programme leverages digital technologies to accelerate development, testing and fielding.
