The US Army’s Aviation and Missile Center has Lockheed Martin to develop an advanced Long Range Maneuverable Fires (LRMF) missile with propulsion. The missile can be fired from the Army’s existing launchers to engage long-range threats at ranges well beyond those of the baseline Precision Strike Missile (PrSM).
“Lockheed Martin is working with the U.S. Army to give soldiers a decisive advantage on the battlefield by increasing their range,” said Steven Botwinik, vice president of Advanced Programs Execution and Transition at Lockheed Martin Missiles and Fire Control. “With half a century of experience integrating advanced propulsion systems and supporting the Army’s precision fire ecosystem, we are poised to develop a solution that significantly increases the range of PrSM.” Phase 1 will focus on design and risk mitigation activities, with optional follow-on phases leading to flight test demonstration. Following flight testing, LRMF will be transferred to the U.S. Army Strategic and Operational Missile and Rocket (STORM) Project Office to support the development of a longer-range PrSM Increment (Inc.) 4.
