Rory Crooks, the service\u2019s Long Range Precision Fires Cross-Functional Team lead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One year ago this month, the Army <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/digital-show-dailies\/ausa\/2021\/10\/14\/us-armys-precision-strike-missile-breaks-distance-record-in-flight-test\/\" target=\"_blank\">conducted a long-range flight test of PrSM that is believed to have exceeded the current range requirement of 499 kilometers<\/a>. The Army has not disclosed the distance it traveled during its Oct. 13, 2021, test at Vandenberg Space Force Base, California, but the goal was to see how far the weapon can travel beyond its previous set requirement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The original intent was to reach a maximum of 499 kilometers, but America\u2019s 2019 withdrawal from the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty with Russia has allowed the U.S. Army to develop the missile to fly farther. The treaty had prevented the development of missiles with ranges between 499 and 5,000 kilometers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The long-range tests taught the Army \u201cthat the most promising attribute of PrSM so far has been its growth potential,\u201d Crooks told Defense News in a recent interview. \u201cWe have a lot of [science and technology] efforts that are addressing how we can capitalize on this growth potential within the program with respect to [range extension].\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Army\u2019s Aviation and Missile Center is partnered with industry to extend the range. \u201cThey\u2019ve got some very viable designs that we\u2019re exploring right now, so it looks very promising that we\u2019re going to be able to continue to extend beyond 499 [kilometers],\u201d Crooks said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Having a longer range for PrSM makes the capability \u201cdecisive\u201d in both the Indo-Pacific and European theaters, Crooks added. The colonel recently served as chief of staff of V Corps, spending time in Europe with a front-row seat to the Russian invasion of Ukraine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWith 499 kilometers &#8230; you could probably interdict almost all the targets you wanted to in [U.S. European Command\u2019s area of responsibility] with those ranges,\u201d Crooks said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But \u201cto be important or even decisive in [U.S. Indo-Pacific Command\u2019s area of responsibility] you have to go beyond that,\u201d he added.\u201d It\u2019s just the tyranny of distance.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI don\u2019t think it\u2019s an accident that we have interest from other allies like Australia [and] the U.K., not only to potentially buy these systems, but to actually help us in the science and technology end of it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In August 2021, Australia and the U.S. Army announced a partnership to develop a precision missile capability. Australia contributed $70 million to the $907 million PrSM program, according to an announcement from the Australian government.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Pacific nation chose to acquire the High Mobility Rocket Launcher System, which aligns well with its plans to potentially buy PrSM because it is the same system the Army uses to fire that munition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The United Kingdom plans to field PrSM in 2024 as part of an upgrade to its M270 Multiple Launch Rocket System, according to a March 2021 release from the British government.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The U.S. Army approved the PrSM program to move into the engineering and manufacturing development phase on Sept. 30, 2021, and awarded Lockheed Martin a $62 million contract for early operational capability production.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In September 2022, the Army awarded Lockheed another $158 million contract to produce additional early operational capability Precision Strike Missiles. More flight tests are planned for fiscal 2023, the company said in a statement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Army plans to initially field the weapon in FY23 and will spiral in more technology later, including an enhanced seeker, increased lethality and extended range. The priority for PrSM in the near term is to pursue a maritime, ship-killing capability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Army also plans to begin integrating the Land-Based Anti-Ship Missile seeker into PrSM in FY23, giving it the capability to destroy ships. Crooks\u2019 predecessor, Brig. Gen. John Rafferty, told Defense News last year that the Army was realistically aiming to field the capability in FY26.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Army\u2019s Aviation and
