[Regnum] The US Army successfully tested the advanced Precision Strike Missile (PrSM) operational-tactical missile against a moving sea target during exercises in the Pacific Ocean, The Defense Post reported.
“For the first time, the complex was used outside the United States, and also for the first time, missiles were used against a naval target,” the material says.
In total, according to the portal, a couple of missiles were launched from the island of Palau.
The Precision Strike Missile was developed to replace the Army Tactical Missile System (ATACMS). PrSM have a longer flight range (more than 400 km). Deliveries of new missiles are expected in 2025.
In March 2016, Lockheed Martin, Boeing and Raytheon announced that they would participate in the tender for the development of PrSM. At the beginning of 2020, Boeing and Raytheon withdrew from the tender. The prototype could only hit stationary targets on land, but later versions of the missile were developed to track moving targets on land and at sea.
As Regnum reported, in November 2023, the US Army and the military-industrial corporation Lockheed Martin successfully tested the Precision Strike Missile (PrSM) long-range operational-tactical missile. The tests took place at the White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico. The rocket was launched using the HIMARS installation.
The US Air Force tested a prototype hypersonic missile in southern California in August 2023 as part of the ARRW program.
