What project CO3 buys
Precision Strike Missile (PrSM) funding line is directly aligned to the Army Long Range Precision Fires (LRPF) modernization priority. PrSM is the Army's next generation surface-to-surface missile that replaces and improves upon Army Tactical Missile System (ATACMS) capabilities. The PrSM program is a component of an integrated fires development effort that includes survivability, resiliency, and effectiveness improvements against advanced threats from adversaries. These efforts include integration with an evolving common fires mission command, common development tools and processes, and annual test and evaluation to provide data to support program assessments and progress toward closure of performance gaps. PrSM requirements include: threshold max range of 400 kilometers (km), specified lethality against the designated target set, a launch pod missile container (LPMC) that holds two missiles, survivability in a threat environment, and compatibility with the existing launcher platforms (M270A2 Multiple Launch Rocket System (MLRS) and M142 High Mobility Artillery Rocket System (HIMARS)). PrSM will meet cluster and insensitive munition (IM) requirements and is designed with an open system approach that provides the capability for future growth to counter new and emerging threats. PrSM is an incremental development program. The munitions developed under this funding line are part of the MLRS Family of Munitions (MFOM) that are deployed by the M142 HIMARS and M270 MLRS launchers. The mission of PrSM Increment 1 is to attack, neutralize, suppress, destroy targets using missile delivered indirect precision fires. PrSM will provide joint force commanders with a 24/7, all-weather capability to attack critical and time sensitive area and point targets including threat air defense, missile launchers, command and control centers, assembly/staging areas and high payoff targets at all depths of the multi-domain battlefield. PrSM will counter the enemy's ability to conduct combat maneuver and air defense operations.

Project CO3 funding, FY2025–FY2031
Prior years are actuals, the budget year is the request, and the outyears are the FYDP plan. Estimate types are colored and never summed into one figure. Projects carry the full five-year plan; the activities inside them stop at the budget year.
| Fiscal Year | Estimate Type | Amount ($M) |
|---|---|---|
| FY2025 | Actual | 177.3 |
| FY2027 | Request | 45.3 |
| FY2028 | Outyear | 49.0 |
| FY2029 | Outyear | 26.3 |
| FY2030 | Outyear | 66.5 |
| FY2031 | Outyear | 43.0 |
3 accomplishments / planned programs
The R-2A exhibit — the only level of the budget that describes work that has not happened yet. Activities carry the prior, current and budget year only, no five-year plan. Coverage is partial across the corpus, so count activities, never total them.
FY2027 planned work Continues development and qualification of the M-Code guidance set; continues development and qualification of the exportable proximity sensor; continues cybersecurity, continuous software development, and blocking upgrades.
FY2026 to FY2027 change The FY 2027 funding increase continues development and qualification of the M-Code guidance sets and software development.
FY2025 accomplishments Efforts will focus on hardware builds and training material in preparation for (10) initial operational test & evaluation (IOT&E) flight tests occurring in late FY 2025. Additional FY 2025 efforts include the completion of PQT flight testing, integration with the M270A2 launcher and the new common fire control system (CFCS), cyber security requirements to achieve full materiel release (FMR), and preparation for MS C.
FY2025 accomplishments FY 2025 activities support system prototype flight tests against maritime targets and PrSM Increment 2 preliminary design review (PDR). System prototype tests inform the EOC contract award decision scheduled in late FY 2026 in order to begin delivery of EOC missiles by FY 2029.
Named performers on project CO3
Performers named in the R-3 exhibit under this project. Share is of the project's whole FY2027 R-3 total — the same denominator the program-element split uses, so the two read on one scale and will not sum to 100% when unnamed or government work is in the mix. Budget-justification contract funding, not obligations.
