Overview
- CENTCOM released video showing a Precision Strike Missile launched from an M142 HIMARS during the ongoing strikes on Iran.
- Increment 1 was employed for the first time in combat, bringing roughly 500 km reach on the same platforms that previously fired ATACMS.
- A slimmer airframe enables two missiles per pod versus one for ATACMS, increasing ready-to-fire capacity for mobile launchers.
- Officials have not disclosed the launch locations or the specific targets engaged by the new missiles.
- Production is ramping through 2029 as the Army develops longer-range increments exceeding 1,000 km and new seekers, with Operation Epic Fury also introducing LUCAS one-way drones and other advanced systems.
