At the same time, they must protect friendly forces by getting fires with reach, range and speed beyond what\u2019s currently available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And to win, they\u2019ll need to fire-on-the-move, to allow agile maneuver, putting the right force in the right spot at the right time. No more setting up guns and firing all day at various targets. It is shoot, move, shoot, all day long.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The most prominent, and so far promising system to get that done is the Army\u2019s Precision Strike Missile program, under development by Lockheed Martin. The PrSM will replace the existing Army Tactical Missile System.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But the Army\u2019s not simply building a bigger rocket with PrSM. As Defense News reported in 2021 during an early capability demonstration at Fort Sill, Oklahoma, developers expect systems such as PrSM to work in manned-unmanned teams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That demonstration fired seven missiles from two rocket platforms, one manned, one unmanned, both offloaded from cargo planes to fire, and then loaded back on \u2014 simulating the quick setup, fire and takedown the Army needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThat means things like autonomy, platforms that can operate without the same soldier footprint to execute their mission. That gives us more firepower for the same soldier footprint,\u201d Blackwell said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Designers tackling the robot driver problem are working in the Autonomous Multi-Domain Launcher, or AML, program, Blackwell said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Right now, they\u2019re using the High Mobility Artillery Rocket System, or HIMARS, as the testbed for AML. By removing the cab and other items that support the human on the HIMARS, they add more space for, wait for it\u2026more rockets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/HIMARS-Red-Flag.jpg.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-86930\" srcset=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/HIMARS-Red-Flag.jpg.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/HIMARS-Red-Flag.jpg.jpg?resize=300,200 300w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/HIMARS-Red-Flag.jpg.jpg?resize=768,512 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Airmen load an M142 High Mobility Artillery Rocket System on a C-17 Globemaster III during a HIMARS rapid infiltration dry run, May 3, 2018, at Fort Greely, Alaska. (Senior Airman Isaac Johnson\/Air Force)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But getting missiles to move around on automated trucks is one thing. The Army wants more from the actual munition. It needs to break past the current 500 kilometers range, and up to potentially 1,000 kilometers, Blackwell said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Researchers are working the distance problem with solid rocket and alternate propulsion systems. Right now, nearly 80% of the fuel onboard the rocket is oxygen, Blackwell said. If they can successfully get the oxygen from the air en route to the target, that opens more space for more wicked effects inside the munition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The warhead should strike and destroy a target on the move. That\u2019s why future rocketeers and artillery soldiers must think in terms of where the target will be, not where it is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Army also wants \u201cmulti-mode seeker technology,\u201d according to Blackwell. That tech will give the PrSM the ability to hit mobile, high-priority land and maritime targets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Missile defenses that protect the rest of the soldiers on the battlefield would have to be available at all levels. Air defense systems run by missile teams would address low level threats to squads, platoons and higher-order, long range missiles. They\u2019re not just watching the command post and leaving dispersed squads on their own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s the economics of the fight: make the adversary use more expensive ammunition to counter less expensive munitions, Blackwell said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That is a lesson learned on the U.S. side when fighting counterterrorism and counterinsurgency warfare in which cheap drones or shoulder-fired rockets plagued defenders with expensive missile defense systems, he added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The
