New Himars and MLRS rocket: US Army ordered a party of long -range PRSM (photo)

The states have been creating a high -precision rocket with a range of up to 500 km for the second year. Precision Strike Missile will replace ATACMS. The US Army ordered the Lockheed Matrin 54 long -range guided missiles of precision Strike Missile. About it reports Shepard. The defensive giant will produce 54 precision missiles for further testing. The first batch for the production of PRSM missiles was purchased in September 2021. The cost of the contract for 54 missiles is $ 77. 42 million.

The work on the development of PRSM for mass production should be completed by September 2025. The PRSM rocket is developed as a replacement of MGM-140 ATCMS missiles. It will allow strokes in the deep rear of the enemy. The rocket will be 500 km, and then the Lockheed Martin plans to increase it to 650 km. For comparison, the most long -range version of ATACMS allows you to shoot up to 300 km up to 9 meters.

Precision Strike Missile will be able to strike not only static land targets, but also moving, but also marine goals. One Himars or MLRS will carry two PRSM missiles at once. The peculiarity is that the rocket will explode over the target, which will increase the mortality and efficiency of the rocket. The main goals for PRSM: Recall that in December 2021, the United States ordered 110 tactical PRSM missiles. It was then planned that they would be armed with the US Army in 2023.
