The US Army’s Precision Strike Missile (PrSM) has made its combat debut during the US-Israeli offensive against Iran, according to the US Central Command (CENTCOM).
According to a social media post by CENTCOM, the PrSM was fired from an M142 High Mobility Artillery Rocket System (HIMARS) in the desert against an undisclosed target.
Made by Lockheed Martin, the missiles can hit targets at ranges over 500 kilometers (310 miles). They were fielded to the army at the end of 2023.
Apart from the PrSM, the US military has also deployed the Low-cost Unmanned Combat Attack System (LUCAS) one-way attack drone — which features a similar design to the Iranian-made Shaheds — for the first time in combat during its operations in Iran.
PrSM Program
The PrSM is intended to replace the aging Army Tactical Missile System (ATACMS), which has a shorter range of up to 300 kilometers (186 miles).
It measures 156 inches (396 centimeters) long with a 17-inch (43-centimeter) diameter, features a modular open-systems architecture, and carries two missiles per launch pod.
The program officially entered Phase C in July 2025, enabling large-scale production and the start of regular combat-ready deliveries to army units.
In September 2025, it completed a series of US Army soldier-led flight tests at White Sands Missile Range, marking the first time that multiple PrSMs were launched from both the HIMARS and the M270A2 Multiple Launch Rocket System (MLRS).
To meet rising demand, Lockheed is ramping up the PrSM’s annual production for the US Army to 400 units.
Future versions with upgraded capabilities are planned: Increment 2 with a multi-mode land-based anti-ship missile seeker, Increment 3 with enhanced lethality payloads, Increment 4 doubling Increment 1’s range, and Increment 5 with an extended range and deployable from an autonomous launcher, according to Breaking Defense.
