Gen. John Rafferty, who is in charge of Army Long-Range Precision Fires modernization, told Defense News in a March 25 interview.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cTheir period of performance ended on the 20th, last Friday, and so they dropped out of the competition because they didn\u2019t meet the requirement for the next phase,\u201d he said. \u201cIt has been a competitive program and all competitions end and this one ended in this way.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lockheed now has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/land\/2020\/03\/10\/lockheed-sails-through-second-flight-test-of-precision-strike-missile\/\" target=_blank>two successful test flights<\/a> of its PrSM offering, but Raytheon had struggled with a technical issue since late last year when it was scheduled to execute its first test flight at White Sands Missile Range, New Mexico.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The company\u2019s next flight test will be held April 30th, Rafferty said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Replacing ATACMS with a new long-range precision missile is a top priority for the Army within its modernization portfolio because it is the centerpiece to how the service plans to operate against adversaries in the future where standoff will need to be greater.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While Raytheon may be out now, Rafferty said, \u201cI think it\u2019s important to remember that we view not just the base missile as the competitive part of PrSM.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Army intends to spiral in capability to the base missile later on. Spiral one adds a more capable seeker, and spiral two would enhance lethality of the weapon either through sub-munitions or \u201ca couple of alternatives that we are considering for that,&#8221; Rafferty said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And the service plans to extend the range of the PrSM missile so there are opportunities for competition there \u201cand we would welcome Raytheon as an important competitor,\u201d Rafferty said, adding Raytheon\u2019s design features a compelling propulsion system, which fundamentally differs from Lockheed\u2019s design and could be considered down the road. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The service has accelerated PrSM\u2019s fielding timeline by several years and will s<a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/digital-show-dailies\/global-force-symposium\/2019\/03\/26\/army-to-prioritize-long-range-missile-capability-to-go-after-maritime-targets\/\" target=\"_blank\">tick to the baseline requirements<\/a> for the missile to get there. The Army has a goal to initially <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/digital-show-dailies\/ausa\/2018\/10\/08\/army-pushes-to-get-precision-strike-munition-to-the-force-by-2023\/\" target=\"_blank\">field PrSM in 2023<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The missile\u2019s current maximum range requirement is 499 kilometers, which is the range that was compliant under the now-collapsed Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty between the United States and Russia. The United States withdrew from the treaty in August, and so the Army no longer has to adhere to the range limit for its missiles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But the Army believes the baseline missile could actually reach a range of 550 kilometers based on data from both Raytheon and Lockheed. The Army has said it wouldn\u2019t consider adjusting its requirements until each company has had a chance to<a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/land\/2019\/07\/18\/first-flight-tests-for-armys-precision-strike-missile-pushed-to-end-of-year\/\" target=_blank> see how their respective missile behaves in real flight tests<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lockheed\u2019s third flight will test the missile\u2019s performance at an even shorter range. The company is waiting on a potential award to conduct three more flights tests in a second phase of the program. Those tests will include a maximum range test as well as a salvo firing of two missiles.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Raytheon is bowing out of the technical maturation phase
