Northrop Grumman Corporation’s propulsion solution was integral to recent qualification tests demonstrating the readiness and reliability of the U.S. Army’s Precision Strike Missile (PrSM) Increment 1. Northrop Grumman provides the solid rocket motor (SRM) to Lockheed Martin as part of the Army’s efforts to modernize its long-range precision strike capabilities.
Already qualified on the HIMARS system, this successful test series from the M270A2 launcher reinforces PrSM’s standout performance and pinpoint accuracy under diverse conditions. The Northrop Grumman motor is an enabler in enhanced performance that translates to increased weapon standoff and power for the warfighter.
Frank DeMauro, vice president and general manager, weapon systems, Northrop Grumman, said, “As the propulsion provider for PrSM and other critical strike missile programs, Northrop Grumman is committed to delivering SRMs that enhance the performance, range, and reliability of these advanced capabilities. Northrop Grumman continues to innovate and provide cutting-edge propulsion systems that enable remarkable achievements such as PrSM’s launcher qualification tests, reinforcing our commitment to mission success and operational superiority. With ample American production capacity for surge, advanced technologies and machine learning as part of our solid rocket motor development, and a dedication to pioneering disruptive solutions, we are at the forefront of developing small, medium and large propulsion solutions for the future. Our relentless commitment to innovation and excellence sets us apart as we continue to drive mission success and operational superiority.”
