Lockheed Martin's Precision Strike Missile(PrSM) Increment 2 Takes Flight

the U.S. Army’s long-range fires program, Lockheed Martin (NYSE:LMT) successfully completed the first flight test of the Precision Strike Missile (PrSM) Increment 2, demonstrating its new multi-mode seeker and ability to engage moving maritime targets.

The missile met test objectives in a 350-km flight launching from a HIMARS, deploying protective covers and capturing a suite of performance data that will be used to validate the system.

WHAT’S NEW

• New Multi-Mode Seeker: PrSM’s new guidance system includes a seeker that provides targeting guidance and can lock on to moving, time-sensitive threats.

• Maritime-Strike Option: PrSM Increment 2 adds maritime-strike capability to the baseline missile’s land-attack mission – expanding its role in joint, multi-domain operations.

• Broader Mission Set: The US Army can now strike relocating or fleeting targets in both land and maritime environments, strengthening sea-denial contributions.

• Flexibility and Operational Readiness: PrSM Increment 2 integrates with current HIMARS and M270A2 launchers, preserving the existing platform footprint, simplifying logistics.

ADDITIONAL CONTEXT

• Accelerated Development: Lockheed Martin’s accelerated development approach, backed by significant investment, is pushing the system from flight test to operational capability at an unprecedented pace.

• Program Status: The program is moving through the technology‑maturation phase, and the Preliminary Design Review is now underway.

• Looking Ahead: Additional PrSM Increment 2 flight tests are scheduled for later this year.
