PrSM Increment 2 Takes Flight and Advances Army’s Moving-Target and Maritime Capability

DALLAS, March 12, 2026 - In a major milestone for the U.S. Army's long-range fires program, Lockheed Martin (NYSE:LMT) successfully completed the first flight test of the Precision Strike Missile (PrSM) Increment 2, demonstrating its new multi-mode seeker and ability to engage moving maritime targets.

The missile met test objectives in a 350-km flight launching from a HIMARS, deploying protective covers and capturing a suite of performance data that will be used to validate the system.

WHAT'S NEW

• New Multi-Mode Seeker: PrSM's new guidance system includes a seeker that provides targeting guidance and can lock on to moving, time-sensitive threats.
• Maritime-Strike Option: PrSM Increment 2 adds maritime-strike capability to the baseline missile's land-attack mission - expanding its role in joint, multi-domain operations.

WHY IT MATTERS

• Broader Mission Set: The Army can now strike relocating or fleeting targets in both land and maritime environments, strengthening sea-denial contributions.
• Flexibility and Operational Readiness: PrSM Increment 2 integrates seamlessly with current HIMARS and M270A2 launchers, preserving the existing platform footprint, simplifying logistics and accelerating a path to fielding.

EXPERT PERSPECTIVE

• "With Increment 2, PrSM delivers the long-range capability the Army asked for to defeat moving land and maritime threats," said Carolyn Orzechowski, vice president, Lockheed Martin Precision Fires Launchers and Missiles. "Our focused investment and accelerated delivery demonstrate our unwavering commitment to the Army customer."
• "Lockheed Martin is investing in advanced development and digital engineering to accelerate the fielding of PrSM Increment 2," said Gaylia Campbell, vice president and general manager, Lockheed Martin Tactical Missiles. "By leveraging modular design, agile processes and close collaboration with the Army and our supplier network, we're moving quickly to deliver this enhanced capability to the warfighter faster without compromising performance or reliability."

ADDITIONAL CONTEXT

• Accelerated Development: Lockheed Martin's accelerated development approach, backed by significant investment, is pushing the system from flight test to operational capability at an unprecedented pace.
• Program Status: The program is moving through the technology-maturation phase, and the Preliminary Design Review is now underway.
• Looking Ahead: Additional PrSM Increment 2 flight tests are scheduled for later this year.
