The U.S. Army plans to speculate over $1 Billion for growing and test next-generation, a long-range precision-strike missile designed for the U.S. Army’s PrSM program.
Based on the Inside Defense, the Army intends to purchase 1,018 Precision Strike Missiles for $1 billion across the fiscal year 2021 future years defense program.
This new surface-to-surface weapon system will ship revamped capabilities to attack, neutralize, suppress, and destroy targets using missile-delivered oblique fires out to 499+ kilometers. PrSM provides the Joint Force Commander with elevated range, lethality, survivability, and missile loadout.

explosive power and longer ranges for new generation missiles.
A new “Marine Littoral Regiment” coming to Hawaii — the first of its kind in the Marine Corps — represents a major shift for the service in the “great power” competition playing out in the Western Pacific and preparation for a high-tech missile war in the region.
