Full Specifications

PrSM Increment 2 Long-Range Precision Strike Missile

The Precision Strike Missile (PrSM) Increment 2 represents the next step in the U.S. Army’s modernization of long-range precision fires. Developed to replace the aging ATACMS missile, the system is designed to strike high-value targets at extended distances while improving accuracy, survivability, and operational flexibility.

Unlike earlier variants, PrSM Increment 2 introduces enhanced targeting capabilities that allow the missile to engage moving land targets and maritime threats. This capability expands the operational role of the system from traditional land-attack missions to broader anti-ship and multi-domain strike operations.

The missile is designed for use with existing U.S. Army launch platforms, allowing units equipped with modern rocket artillery systems to deliver deep-strike capabilities against enemy command centers, air defense systems, logistics hubs, and naval targets.

Manufacturer

PrSM Increment 2 is developed and produced by Lockheed Martin, one of the leading U.S. defense contractors specializing in advanced missile systems. The program is part of the U.S. Army’s Long Range Precision Fires modernization effort.

Lockheed Martin integrates advanced sensors, improved navigation systems, and upgraded warhead technologies into the missile. These upgrades allow PrSM Increment 2 to detect and track moving targets, which significantly expands its operational value in modern multi-domain warfare environments.

Speed and Range

The missile is designed for long-range strike missions with a range expected to exceed 500 kilometers. This extended reach enables the U.S. Army to engage targets far beyond traditional artillery distances.

PrSM uses a solid-fuel rocket propulsion system and travels at high supersonic speeds, allowing it to rapidly reach distant targets while reducing the time available for enemy defenses to respond.

Its ability to strike moving targets also supports maritime denial missions against hostile naval forces operating within contested regions.

Cost / Price

The exact cost of the PrSM Increment 2 missile has not been publicly disclosed. However, analysts estimate that each missile could cost several million dollars per unit, depending on production scale and configuration.

As the program enters larger production phases for the U.S. Army, per-unit costs are expected to decrease due to manufacturing efficiencies and higher procurement volumes.
