Lockheed Martin testează noua armă pentru HIMARS: PrSM Increment 2 lovește nave în mișcare la 500 km distanță • Newsweek România

Lockheed Martin has conducted the second flight test of the PrSM Increment 2 missile, designed to strike moving naval targets at distances of 500 km. This development comes as U.S. missile stocks face pressure. The new missile enhances HIMARS capabilities, allowing ground forces to engage maritime targets from significant distances. The test, conducted in August 2026, followed an earlier launch in March and provided critical data on various mission phases. Future flight tests are planned for 2027, with production ramping up to meet demand. The U.S. Army has awarded Lockheed Martin a contract worth up to $1.2 billion for operational readiness of the missile. The Increment 2 aims to achieve initial operational capability soon, with plans for further enhancements in range.
