Lockheed Martin successfully completed a production qualification flight test of Precision Strike Missile with the U.S. Army in a demonstration at White Sands Missile Range, New Mexico.
One Precision Strike Missile (PrSM) was fired from a HIMARS launcher to hit a target set.
Notably, the test is the shortest distance flown to date demonstrating the system’s continued accuracy from launch to impact.
While not PrSM’s primary mission range, the short-range flight represents the most stressful, dynamic environment for the missile as it maneuvers at hypersonic speeds to align to the target.
This test verifies structural integrity of the missile and trajectory control.
To be noted that the test follows a third production contract to produce additional EOC missiles awarded in September 2023.
