White Sands Missile Range, N.M. – On November 18, 2024, the U.S. Army conducted a flight test of the Precision Strike Missile Increment 1 capability. This test launched two missiles from a M142 High Mobility Artillery Rocket System launcher.

Preliminary results from the test indicate the PrSM Inc 1 missiles performed nominally across all test objectives, including predicted flight trajectory, range, lethality, engagement angle, and warhead performance.

This flight test, executed under a clear, cool White Sands Missile Range backdrop, is the first demonstration of a PrSM launched from a crewed HIMARS launcher. PrSM Inc 1 will replace the Army Tactical Missile System and provide greater range and lethality to Army field artillery formations.

The PrSM is the next-generation, long-range precision-strike missile delivering critical capabilities to attack, neutralize, suppress, and destroy targets, supporting successful mission execution via combined Joint All-Domain Operations.
