Lockheed Martin was awarded contract for Precision Strike Missile Weapon System development
According to a contract published by the United States Department of Defense (DoD) on September 30, 2021, Lockheed Martin Missiles and Fire Control, Grand Prairie, Texas, was awarded a $62,028,000 modification (P00004) to contract W31P4Q-21-C-0042 for the engineering and manufacturing development requirement for the Precision Strike Missile Weapon System.
The Precision Strike Missile (PrSM) is the next-generation, long-range precision-strike missile designed for the U.S. Army’s PrSM program by the American company Lockheed Martin.
This new surface-to-surface weapon system will deliver enhanced capabilities to attack, neutralize, suppress and destroy targets using missile-delivered indirect fires out to 499+ kilometers. PrSM provides the Joint Force Commander with increased range, lethality, survivability and missile load out. These enhanced capabilities are critical to the successful execution of Fires in support of Multi-Domain Operations.
