Accelerating Precision at Mission Speed

Accelerating Precision at Mission Speed

How the Precision Strike Missile (PrSM) is shaping long-range fires through innovation, partnership and production.

November 12, 2026

A Global Imperative

The modern security environment calls for rapid, long-range precision fires that can be seamlessly integrated across U.S. and partner forces. Nations worldwide are seeking systems that combine extended reach, pinpoint accuracy and adaptability - capabilities that give commanders confidence to act decisively in contested domains.

The Precision Strike Missile (PrSM) embodies this imperative. Built for joint and coalition operations, it delivers performance that is matched by its ease of integration, allowing allies to train, plan and execute missions together while reinforcing collective deterrence.

Rising International Interest

Allied modernization strategies are increasingly prioritizing long-range, precision-strike solutions. The growing number of international requests for PrSM reflects a clear consensus: today's security challenges are best met through interoperable, high-performance munitions.

The U.S. Army's Foreign Military Sales (FMS) framework provides a direct pathway for partners to acquire the missile and is actively advancing PrSM availability to allies - meeting the strong, growing demand for next-generation firepower that aligns with partner readiness priorities.

Speed-Centric Delivery

Only proven performance paired with on-time delivery yields true operational advantage. PrSM leverages digital engineering, modern manufacturing and close government-industry collaboration to compress development and production cycles without compromising quality.

PrSM is built on an assembly line that incorporates as much advanced technology as the missile itself, ensuring that every component benefits from the same cutting-edge processes that define the final weapon system.

The recent framework agreement to expand PrSM production illustrates a flexible manufacturing architecture that can absorb evolving requirements, integrate lessons learned rapidly and sustain long-term output. This agility is mirrored across the broader munitions portfolio - including PAC-3 and THAAD - backed by an $8 to $9 billion investment through 2030 to modernize more than 20 U.S. facilities and boost production capacity.

Strengthening the Industrial Base

A resilient defense industrial base is a cornerstone of both national and allied security. By expanding manufacturing capabilities, advancing digital-engineering workflows and cultivating a skilled workforce, we ensure the scalability needed to meet global demand.

Recent collaborations, such as the partnership with Hadrian that integrates CNC machining directly into our lines, demonstrate how trusted suppliers can embed advanced tooling, increase part commonality, cut lead times and lower costs. Each missile delivered reflects the coordinated effort of hundreds of engineers, technicians and supply-partner teams across a diversified ecosystem.

Looking Ahead

Through the seamless blend of cutting-edge technology and a collaborative industrial ecosystem, the PrSM program delivers today's long-range precision firepower while laying the groundwork for tomorrow's joint defense. Continued investment and a strong government-industry partnership enable rapid, reliable production, while the expanding FMS framework ensures that partner nations can access this capability when they need it most.

As security challenges evolve, Lockheed Martin remains poised to sustain the tempo, scale and interoperability that keep the deterrent edge sharp for decades to come.
