Lockheed Martin Wins $1.2B PrSM Increment 2 Contract Following Second Maritime Test

Lockheed Martin received a $1.2 billion indefinite-delivery contract covering initial procurement, future orders and continued development of the U.S. Army's Precision Strike Missile Increment 2. The award followed a flight campaign that validated the missile against moving maritime and relocatable land targets using a terminal seeker combining imaging infrared and passive radio-frequency sensing. Designed for launch from HIMARS and M270 systems, Increment 2 adds a maritime-strike mission to the PrSM family and moves the configuration toward production after its second reported test against a vessel target.

Lockheed Nabs $1.2 Billion Army Production Contract For Seeker-Enabled PrSM Inc. 2

The U.S. Army awarded Lockheed Martin a $1.21 billion contract for the Early Operational Capability production of Precision Strike Missile Increment 2, the seeker-enabled PrSM variant designed to engage moving maritime and land targets. The indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity award combines cost-plus-fixed-fee and firm-fixed-price elements, with work locations and funding determined as individual orders are issued. The contract moves Increment 2 beyond development and is scheduled for completion by September 13, 2031, although the number of missiles covered has not been disclosed.

U.S. Army accelerates PrSM Increment 2 for moving maritime targets under streamlined rapid-fielding acquisition pathway

The U.S. Army moved Precision Strike Missile Increment 2 from the Major Capability Acquisition process to the Middle Tier of Acquisition Rapid Fielding pathway to accelerate an early moving-target capability. Increment 2 adds a multi-mode seeker for engaging moving maritime and relocatable land targets while retaining compatibility with M142 HIMARS and M270A2 launchers. The programme reuses validated Increment 1 hardware, software and test evidence to shorten integration and verification, while enabling earlier production decisions and continuous technology insertion. A March 2026 flight test launched the Lockheed Martin missile from HIMARS on a 350-kilometre flight and exercised the new seeker, with additional testing planned.

US Army accelerates HIMARS PrSM Increment 2 anti-ship missile deployment under Rapid Fielding path

The United States Army moved Precision Strike Missile Increment 2 into the rapid-fielding pathway, seeking to accelerate a version designed to engage moving ships and relocatable land targets. Its multimode seeker builds on Increment 1 hardware and software, while retaining compatibility with HIMARS and M270A2 launchers; a March 2026 flight test demonstrated a 350-kilometre engagement. Each pod holds two missiles, doubling launcher capacity over ATACMS, but the service has not announced a fielding date and operational value will depend on resilient sensor-to-shooter networks. M270A2 launchers can carry four missiles in two pods.
