美国陆军成功对太平洋海上移动目标进行了精确打击导弹（PrSM）试验。

此次演习是“勇敢之盾 2024”演习的一部分，于 6 月 16 日在帕劳举行。

它涉及原型自主多域发射器 (AML) 和两枚 PrSM，证明了其在与其他联合资产协作的同时攻击移动目标的能力。

此次试验是在沉没演习（SINKEX）期间进行的，目标是退役的奥斯汀级两栖船坞运输舰克利夫兰号残骸。

这是已知的首次使用 PrSM 打击移动海上目标，也是 AML 和 PrSM 首次在美国境外使用。

PrSM 由洛克希德·马丁公司开发，旨在取代早期的 MGM-140 陆军战术导弹系统 (ATACMS)，提供远程支援和深度打击能力。

该导弹的射程比ATACMS更远，可以打击40至300多英里范围内的目标。

陆军表示，新型精确制导导弹将大幅提高美军远程精确制导弹药的射程和杀伤力。

该弹道导弹可在所有天气条件下作战，预计将取代 ATACMS 的单一型号和集群型号。

由于尺寸减小，发射舱可以携带两枚 PrSM，而不是一枚。

未来的 PrSM 变体将专注于扩大射程和攻击时间敏感、移动、硬化和瞬态目标。

五角大楼测试与评估办公室在该计划的报告中承认了这些进步。

之前的 PrSM 测试结果令人鼓舞，于 2023 年 11 月进行了成功演示，并于 2023 年 12 月首次交付导弹。

陆军负责采购、后勤和技术的助理部长道格·布什 (Doug Bush) 指出，这一能力的快速开发和交付是陆军积极利用国会授予的新采购权力的一个例子。

2024 年 1 月，陆军测试了导引头技术，该技术将使 PrSM 能够打击军舰和移动目标，为增量 II PrSM 获得反舰能力铺平了道路。

最近胡塞武装的事件以及对印度-太平洋地区大国竞争的担忧使得反舰能力变得越来越重要。

尤其是中国，已经研发出了多枚反舰弹道导弹和巡航导弹，推动美国建立反舰能力库。

在勇敢之盾2024演习期间，第三多域特遣部队（3MDTF）展示了其在印太司令部地区作战的能力。

士兵团队部署在太平洋周围，整合远程感知、远程通信、效果和火力以实现训练目标。

配备有电磁传感和网状通信设备的高空气球在关岛被释放。

Vanilla 超长航时无人机系统 (UAS) 还充当了通信中继，在 27 小时的任务中表现出色。

演习期间，位于瓦胡岛的三军部队全域作战中心和日本的一个营指挥部成为协调规划和执行的焦点。

The US Army successfully tested its Precision Strike Missile (PrSM) against a moving maritime target in the Pacific.

The exercise, part of Valiant Shield 2024, took place on June 16 in Palau.

It involved the prototype Autonomous Multi-Domain Launcher (AML) and two PrSMs, which proved its ability to engage a moving target while working with other joint assets.

The test, carried out during a sinking exercise (SINKEX), targeted the decommissioned hulk of the ex-USS Cleveland, an Austin-class amphibious transport dock.

This was the first known use of the PrSM against a moving sea target and the first time the AML and PrSM were employed outside of the United States.

The PrSM, developed by Lockheed Martin, is intended to replace the earlier MGM-140 Army Tactical Missile Systems (ATACMS), providing extended long-range support and deep strike capabilities.

The missile has a wider range than the ATACMS, allowing it to strike targets at distances of 40 to over 300 miles.

The Army stated that the new PrSMs will greatly increase the range and lethality of the US military’s long-range precision munitions.

The ballistic missile can operate in all weather conditions and is expected to replace both the unitary and cluster variants of the ATACMS.

A launch pod can carry two PrSMs instead of one because of its reduced size.

Future PrSM variants will focus on extending the range and engagement of time-sensitive, moving, hardened, and transient targets.

These advancements were recognized in a Pentagon test and evaluation office report on the program.

Previous PrSM testing has proved encouraging, with a successful demonstration in November 2023 and initial missile delivery in December 2023.

Assistant Secretary of the Army for Acquisition, Logistics, and Technology Doug Bush cited the speedy development and delivery of this capability as an example of the Army’s proactive use of new acquisition authority from Congress.

In January 2024, the Army tested the seeker technology that will allow the PrSM to strike warships and moving targets, clearing the path for the Increment II PrSM to acquire anti-ship abilities.

Recent events involving the Houthis and concerns about great power competition in the Indo-Pacific area have made anti-ship capabilities increasingly vital.

China, in particular, has developed several anti-ship ballistic and cruise missiles, pushing the United States to create its arsenal of anti-ship capabilities.

During the Valiant Shield 2024 exercise, the 3rd Multi-Domain Task Force (3MDTF) demonstrated its capability to operate in the INDOPACOM region.

Soldier teams were deployed around the Pacific, integrating extended-range sensing, long-range communication, effects, and fires to achieve training objectives.

High-altitude balloons outfitted with electromagnetic sensing and mesh communications equipment were released on Guam.

The Vanilla Ultra-Long Endurance Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) also served as a communication relay, performing impressively over a 27-hour mission.

During the exercise, the 3MDTF All-Domain Operations Center on Oahu and a Battalion command in Japan were the focal points for coordinated planning and execution.

Valiant Shield is a biennial field training event integrating interoperability training across multiple domains.

It improves real-world skill in sustaining combined forces across several domains, contributing to the ongoing transformation of multi-domain capabilities and enhancing warfighting readiness.
