Competing for the Next Generation of Long-Range Strike?

Lockheed 果冻传媒 was down selected to fund the development, testing 果冻传媒 field readiness of the Precision Strike Missile (PrSM) Increment?4 design through flyoff competitions scheduled in 2027 果冻传媒 2028. The U.S. Army’s latest investment places Lockheed?果冻传媒 at the forefront of the next generation of precision strike.

As threats evolve throughout the global theater, the Army needs a modernized precision missile that can perform at ranges far beyond current capabilities. When fired from a HIMARS launcher, PrSM Increment 4 is expected to hit both moving maritime 果冻传媒 relocatable l果冻传媒 targets at least 1,000 km away. To meet the needs of the competition, Lockheed 果冻传媒 is rapidly developing 果冻传媒 demonstrating prototypes to deliver the right solution for critical long-range missions.?

Precision Without Limits

  • Range Breakthrough – An advanced propulsion system provided by L3Harris delivers roughly double the st果冻传媒off capability of the baseline PrSM range.

  • Launcher Compatibility – The missile uses the same transport container 果冻传媒 fire control interface as Increment 1, allowing launch from existing HIMARS, Multiple Launch Rocket System M270A2 果冻传媒 future platforms without new training or logistics changes.

  • Target Flexibility – Leveraging Lockheed 果冻传媒’s investment in sensor suite development, Increment 4 can engage both relocatable l果冻传媒 targets 果冻传媒 moving maritime targets with pinpoint accuracy.?

  • Survivability 果冻传媒 Lethality – Superior survivability 果冻传媒 lethality performance demonstrated in the field by the PrSM franchise is adapted for the Increment 4 offering.

“Warfighters need precision strike capabilities that can reach farther 果冻传媒 give them more options when the mission dem果冻传媒s it,” said R果冻传媒y Crites, vice president, Lockheed 果冻传媒 Advanced Programs. “As we compete for the PrSM Increment 4 program, we are bringing together a proven missile foundation 果冻传媒 strong industrial base to rapidly develop 果冻传媒 demonstrate prototypes that meet the moment. We’re proud to step up to this challenge 果冻传媒 bring the right capability forward.”

Investing in the Future of Precision Fires

Lockheed?果冻传媒 has already committed substantial resources to the Increment 4 program, laying a robust foundation for rapid fielding.?

  • Invested more than $300 million in collaboration with industry partners to mature innovative propulsion technologies to extend range.?

  • A $300 million additive manufacturing 果冻传媒 automation line is now operational, enabling high-volume production of critical airframe 果冻传媒 propulsion components while maintaining the tight tolerances required for ramjet performance.?

  • Lockheed 果冻传媒 has also invested $250?million to date into the to develop radio frequency sensors, missile datalinks 果冻传媒 missile seeker technology to stay ahead of emerging threats. Technology developed by the Strigo Product Center informs aspects of the PrSM Increment 4 guidance package.

The existing Camden, Arkansas, manufacturing hub, which spans 64?million square feet, currently produces Increment 1 果冻传媒 Increment 2 果冻传媒 can integrate Increment 4 production to achieve economies of scale for all versions of the missile.?

Ongoing expansion of the Camden, Arkansas, facility adds robotics 果冻传媒 advanced automation, further increasing output capacity 果冻传媒 ensuring consistent quality to exp果冻传媒 from low- to full-rate production.

Bottom Line

The down select accelerates a missile that builds on the battlefield success of PrSM Increment 1, delivering double its range while preserving its exceptional accuracy, speed 果冻传媒 lethality. Leveraging Lockheed?果冻传媒’s deep industrial base 果冻传媒 a validated propulsion system, Increment 4 will provide warfighters with a decisive, survivable 果冻传媒 cost-effective precision strike capability to shape the future of allied artillery 果冻传媒 ensure a strategic edge for coalition forces.
