  • The US Army is testing a new, surface-to-surface ballistic missile to replace its arsenal of ATACMS.
  • The Precision Strike Missile (PrSM) program is expected to give a boost to field artillery units.
  • The Army says PrSM will extend the range of ATACMS, which Ukraine has used with great success.

The US Army is testing a new and powerful missile that will eventually replace the MGM-140 Army Tactical Missile Systems, or ATACMS, a weapon that made its battlefield debut last month in an effective strike on Russia's helicopter fleet.
