Precision Strike Missile (PrSM)

Mission — Precision Strike Missile (PrSM) source

Precision Strike Missile (PrSM) funding line is directly aligned to the Army Long Range Precision Fires (LRPF) modernization priority. PrSM is part of the Army Transformation Initiative. PrSM is the Army's next generation surface-to-surface missile that replaces and improves upon Army Tactical Missile System (ATACMS) capabilities. The PrSM program is a component of an integrated fires development effort that includes survivability, resiliency, and effectiveness improvements against advanced threats from near-peer adversaries. These efforts include integration with an evolving common fires mission command, common development tools and processes, and annual test and evaluation to provide data to support program assessments and progress toward closure of performance gaps. PrSM requirements include: threshold max range of 400 kilometers (km), specified lethality against the designated target set, a launch pod missile container (LPMC) that holds two missiles, survivability in a threat environment, and compatibility with the existing launcher platforms (M270A2 Multiple Launch Rocket System (MLRS) and M142 High Mobility Artillery Rocket System (HIMARS)). PrSM will meet cluster and insensitive munition (IM) requirements and is designed with an open system approach that provides the capability for future growth to counter new and emerging threats. PrSM is an incremental development program. The munitions developed under this funding line are part of the MLRS Family of Munitions (MFOM) that are deployed by the M142 HIMARS and M270 MLRS launchers. The mission of PrSM Increment 1 is to attack/neutralize/suppress/destroy targets using missile delivered indirect precision fires. PrSM will provide joint force commanders with a 24/7, all-weather capability to attack critical and time sensitive area and point targets including threat air defense, missile launchers, command and control centers, assembly/staging areas and high payoff targets at all depths of the multi-domain battlefield. PrSM will counter the enemy's ability to conduct combat maneuver and air defense operations. Project DL2: PrSM Increment 2 integrates multi-mode seeker technology to enable engagement of critical, time sensitive, moving, maritime, relocating, relocatable, and imprecisely located land targets. Project DL4: PrSM Increment 4 adds an extended range capability to engage targets at greater ranges than PrSM Increment 1. FY 2026 funding supports follow-on development of PrSM Increment 1 and Increment 2 technology maturation, integration, and risk reduction efforts leading to system level prototype flights. The FY 2026 request for Precision Strike Missile (PrSM) includes $0 thousand of discretionary and $197,184 thousand of mandatory (reconciliation) for a total of $197,184 thousand. The mandatory funds initiate development of the M-Code guidance set redesign and the proximity sensor redesign; the mandatory funds also integrate multi-mode seeker technology into PrSM Increment 1. Further information for this reconciliation request is provided in Section 20004 (Munitions & Supply Chain) of the Reconciliation Exhibit. The FY 2026 request was reduced by $3.758 million for Advisory and Assistance Services to promote efficiencies and advance the policies of the Administration in alignment with Executive Order 14222, "Implementing the President's Department of Government Efficiency Cost Efficiency Initiative."
