Redstone Arsenal, Ala. – In a significant step towards force modernization, the U.S. Army successfully completed the Precision Strike Missile Increment 1 Initial Operational Test and Evaluation on 26 September 2025 at White Sands Missile Range, New Mexico. During the IOT&E, four PrSM Increment 1 missiles were launched against targets arrayed in a simulated staging area 200 kilometers away. Missile performance met all objectives for range, trajectory, accuracy, and height of burst, with initial lethality assessments indicating nominal performance as expected.
"The success of this test series is a testament to the hard work and dedication of our soldiers, as well as the strong partnership between the Army and our industry partners," said Maj. Gen. Frank Lozano, Program Executive Office Missiles and Space. “Partnerships are instrumental in the development and testing of advanced, lethal capabilities, and we look forward to continuing to work together to deliver this critical capability to the warfighter."
PrSM is designed to provide a next-generation, long-range precision strike capability that neutralizes targets at ranges exceeding 400 kilometers. The open systems architecture ensures maximum affordability and flexibility, while its modular design allows for future growth and upgrades.
