In the USA: Precision Strike missile breaks range record during tests

The Pentagon said that when performing firing at the White Sands training ground in New Mexico, a record was broken during the tests of one of the missiles. It is reportedly a Precision Strike (PrSM) missile.

It is alleged that the PrSM set a record for a similar class of missiles in terms of range, covering a distance of about 400 km.

Lockheed Martin's Vice President for Precision Weapons G. Campbell:

The Precision Strike rocket was fired from a high mobility launcher. She hit the target with the expected accuracy. At the same time, the characteristics were confirmed in terms of flight modes, range and accuracy, as well as the level of lethality (destructive force) of the warhead.

It is noted that the possibility of integrating the Precision Strike tactical missile with the installation of a multiple launch rocket system (MLRS) HIMARS has been confirmed. These MLRSs were designed for 227 mm caliber and have been in service with the US Army since 2005.

Previously, the ATACMS Block IIA missile, which was in development for a long time, was called the long-range option for HIMARS. Its planned range is about 300 km. If you believe the statements of representatives of the above American company, the version of the Precision Strike rocket significantly exceeded this distance.

It should be noted that previously Precision Strike passed three stages of testing. In these tests, the rocket showed the following distances when hitting a target: 85, 180 and 240 km.

This missile is being developed as part of a program to replace the army's tactical missile systems. The Pentagon plans to get a missile with a maximum range of 499 km. Why exactly such a value, similar to a store price tag?

The fact is that missiles with a range exceeding 499 km already belong to the class of intermediate and shorter-range missiles. When development began, the United States was still in the INF Treaty. However, now, after withdrawing from the treaty, the Americans can increase the range of ground-based missile weapons.

According to G. Campbell, the rocket can pass all stages of testing by the third or fourth quarters of 2021.

Eugene, stand !!!! I have a question that only an artilleryman can answer!
from the school physics course, we know that in order to obtain maximum range, the gun barrel must be raised 45 degrees.
always wondered if this is so in reality ???

[Mountain shooter]

Quote: novel xnumx

the implement must be raised 45 degrees.
always wondered if this is so in reality ???

Close, but not quite. Air resistance must be taken into account. At an angle of 45 degrees, the projectile flies a longer path in the denser layers of the atmosphere, and it is more profitable to launch it at a higher angle, so that it would sooner reach the more rarefied layers and make the main path there. Therefore, on large calibers, the barrels are lifted above 45 degrees. The "meteorological average" is taken into account, this is the forecast and the state of the atmosphere in height, the temperature of the layers, the direction and speed of winds at different heights. And all this in time trouble, in a notebook, and often in the wind and rain ... Personally, I was lucky, I am an anti-tank gunner, and mostly direct fire. But it came from the T-12 and from closed positions ... although the cannon's elevation angle was not at all howitzer. and the trajectory of the projectiles is not high. But they taught everything ...

And what about Iskander?
In addition, just a few days ago, a message was passed at VO that NPO Splav is working on equipping Tornado-S shells with optoelectronic seeker, which will make it possible to turn the MLRS into a high-precision RTRK.

[Ka-52]

a potential adversary has such missiles in multiple launch rocket systems.

this missile has nothing to do with the multiple launch rocket system. In this case, Hymans serves only as a location for the container with OTP. There is only one plus - the unification of the PU and that's it. The Americans will not be able to fire volleys with this missile, since only one container is placed on the installation. The Iskander OTRK is distinguished by a specialized mobile launcher. But Iskander has a higher range
judging by your comment you have confirmed my statement above

[hagen]

Quote: Ka-52

Probably, the problem is that we are trying to integrate any innovation in weapons into the habitually existing classification. The M142 HIMARS is really a multiple launch rocket launcher. However, given that each ammunition will receive an autopilot with inertial navigation and satellite guidance, with the help of which it will be possible to attack targets with known coordinates (in any case, as declared). After entering service in 2023, a planned 2021 upgrade called Spiral One will include a multimode seeker in 2026-2027 with radar (likely active) with the ability to focus on radio frequency radiation from land and maritime radars and an infrared imaging mode for impact at certain points. It can be assumed that the need for firing in one gulp will disappear as unnecessary, because the goal is to hit the object with one missile.

Quote: Ka-52

The Americans will not be able to fire volleys with this missile, since only one container is placed on the installation.

It should be borne in mind that by reducing the caliber of the rocket from 0,61 m to 0 m, instead of two missiles, they put 47 of them in a package. It can also be assumed that a rocket with a light warhead of 6 kg was fired at the maximum range (there is also a heavy one - 90 kg, for Iskander - under half a ton). In any case, this missile can be compared with Iskander at a stretch and only in terms of range. And so, I do not see a direct analogue of this complex in our armament. Can someone fix it?

[OgnennyiKotik]

You are a little confused. For MLRS and HIMARS, there are 2 types of packages, in the variant of MLRS and OTP.

Specifically, the article talks about OTP PrSM, which is replacing ATACMS. There will be 2 of them in the package instead of one.

[hagen]

Quote: OgnennyiKotik

There will be 2 of them in the package instead of one.

While the system is still being developed, its final version may be somewhat different than the initial assumptions, especially based on information from VO. I've seen sketches with exactly 6 instead of 2 in one package. But I will not argue, let's see what will come out for military trials, if it comes to them and something is poured into the media.

[OgnennyiKotik]

I am writing information from the developer, slides from their presentation. In the MLRS version, yes, in the package of 6 missiles, Lockheed is also developing new missiles GMLRS extension... Maybe they got confused with them.

Extended Range Controlled MLRS (ER): A new modification of the family of controlled MLRS, the ER GMLRS offers an extended range of up to 150 kilometers in all weather conditions. The ER GMLRS has significant affinity with the legacy controlled MLRS and is being deployed by HIMARS and the MLRS M270 family of launchers. The shells are equipped with a more powerful engine and have increased maneuverability thanks to the tail control.

https://www.lockheedmartin.com/en-us/products/guided-mlrs-unitary-rocket.html

[Ka-52]

In any case, this missile can be compared with Iskander at a stretch and only in terms of range.

there is a clear division into a rocket (RZSO system) and a ballistic missile. Although the principle of flight is similar, they are classified as different weapons. Therefore, attempts to put a sign between them = is a profanation. As far as I remember, Raytheon themselves designates PrSM as an OTR, and not as an RZSO projectile
The range parameter is one of the main ones for the classification of such ammunition: short, medium and long range.

[hagen]

Quote: Ka-52

there is a clear division into a rocket (RZSO system) and a ballistic missile.

I am not a specialist in MLRS and BR, but I think that as soon as the MLRS projectile receives individual control of the flight path, it goes from the MLRS projectile category to ballistic and at the appropriate range, with a certain power, becomes an operational-tactical weapon. If you are an expert on this issue, your expert explanations are ready to be accepted.

[Ka-52]

that as soon as the MLRS projectile receives individual control of the flight path, it goes from the MLRS projectile category to ballistic and at the appropriate range, with a certain power, becomes an operational-tactical weapon

you are not right. RZSO shells in some modifications (like our 9M542) can be adjusted on the flight path. There is a variant of extended-range rockets. But they all remain shells and have nothing to do with operational tactical missiles.

[hagen]

Quote: Ka-52

RZSO shells in some modifications (like our 9M542) can be adjusted on the flight path. .... But they all remain shells

I disagree with your arguments. The essence of the MLRS is to cover the area a salvo of shells, taking into account the size of the dispersion ellipse. There is no need to send the entire bk to the "window" (to one point). At the same time, any missile flying along a ballistic trajectory is "ballistic", but an uncorrectable MLRS rocket ammunition will simply be a special case of a ballistic missile. In artillery, as far as I know, point and area targets are quite clearly distinguished. In accordance with this, an order is made for research and development work on ammunition for it, and all the accompanying elements, including the terminological order. And I asked for an expert opinion from you, meaning by this a normative document securing an appropriate definition for a specific product. Therefore, in order to prove that I am wrong, be so kind as to present a document from GRAU, for example.

[Ka-52]

Quite right. Your opponent writes utter nonsense. OTR and MLRS have a difference in the range of defeat and tasks (and that is very conditional). Everything. A salvo of 4 PrSMs from MLRS makes it a Reactive Multiple Launch System, it is reactive and fires a salvo at a range of ~ 500 km. GMLRS can be used by single launches at a distance of up to 150 km, why not OTP?
About a ballistic missile is generally nonsense. They are all ballistic if they fly along a ballistic trajectory, quasi-ballistic if along a quasi-ballistic trajectory. And OTRs are modern along a quasi-ballistic trajectory and fly, so they are not purely ballistic at all.

[Ka-52]

Quasi-ballistic trajectory / missile is a common term for missiles flying along a ballistic trajectory with the ability to control at various sites.

This missile is an anti-Iskander. To destroy launching Iskander, Tornado and similar systems.

Do you know how to make the morning :) My compliments.
What would you understand, the Iskander OTRK division is 51 vehicles for a missile brigade. The communication distance between the head computer and the launcher is up to 350 (three hundred and fifty) kilometers in the parking lot. Each computer has 16 communication channels. The transmission time for the flight mission to all 16 aircraft is 7 minutes.
Don't you think that killing Iskander from these tractors will untie the navel? I remind you that Russian weapons are made with the expectation of a war between armies, and not against bearded men in sneakers. Therefore, the design takes into account the possibility of using heavy artillery systems. That is why all OTRK Iskander vehicles are made on a highly mobile chassis and provide instant preparation for launch and launch by the standards of the battlefield. In fact, after reaching position, 32 missiles can be launched in less than half an hour. During this time, no one will be able to organize suppression from tractors on such an area.
Aviation is another matter.
Also, note that these rockets are GPS guided. This means that their main purpose is to attack stationary objects with known coordinates.

[voyaka uh]

"In fact, after reaching position 32 missiles can be launched in less than half an hour" ///
---
Half an hour is very, very long.
GPS coordinates are transmitted in a minute.
Aviation arrives in five to ten minutes.
But this rocket will arrive faster. For this, they are introduced to the troops.
To get ahead of aviation.

[abc_alex]

Quote: voyaka uh

Half an hour is very, very long.
GPS coordinates are transmitted in a minute.
Aviation arrives in five to ten minutes.

This is negligible. Leave the tales about "satellites see everything" and let's talk seriously. You have a front 500 km long (one computer and launchers each 250 km away from it) From these launchers, rockets can be launched to a depth of 500 km. We are reducing the distance to 400 kilometers for the deployment of the vehicles of the complex in depth from the front line to the rear. This means you need to conduct exploration in an area of ​​100x500 = 100 square kilometers. Remind you of the area of ​​Israel? 50000 square kilometers.
I articulate: you need to conduct reconnaissance in the territory twice the territory of Israel... In half an hour. Well? Can you?
And I remind you that this is not in conditions when it is possible to run an AWACS chandelier along the border, it is in the depths of the enemy's defense.
But first you need to find out from somewhere that the Iskander division has gone somewhere and arrived somewhere. But he can get up on the border of the 100-km zone farthest from you, what are you going to identify him with?
Suppose someone (spies!) Called you from 100 kilometers away and said that Iskander's car had passed him. You are sending reconnaissance UAVs Hermes 900. Its cruising speed is about 120 km / h. Let's say no one noticed him or knocked him down. It will take your UAV almost an hour to reach the detection point. And the first salvo to Iskander from the moment of stopping was less than 15 minutes. You will also decide where and where to launch the UAV, and the computer will already transmit the flight task to the launcher. And when the UAV reaches the 100 km line from the front (note! I give you a head start, believing that your UAV was launched instantly and from the front line!) Iskander's launchers will already shoot the second salvo and move back to the rear.
This is a simple chronology, there is no magic here.
Yes, planes, of course, will be able to catch up with the launcher. And punish. If they can break through 100 km of front-line air defense.
But it will certainly not be possible to suppress Iskander missiles with these tractors.

I repeat over and over again. Soviet weapons were made and Russian ones are made according to different standards based on the paradigm of war with a high-tech adversary possessing ALL the means of destruction and reconnaissance available at the moment. Not two "alahakbaras" and thirty khasam-babakhs on slate. BUT present army. With aviation, heavy artillery and rocket forces, with full-fledged reconnaissance, including orbital.

You have a front 500 km long (one computer and launchers each 250 km away from it) From these launchers, rockets can be launched to a depth of 500 km. We are reducing the distance to 400 kilometers for the deployment of the vehicles of the complex in depth from the front line to the rear. This means you need to conduct exploration in an area of ​​100x500 = 100 square kilometers

Ага.
And our Iskander, in your opinion, do not need to carry out reconnaissance of targets? Have our companions already seen everyone?

Quote: abc_alex

not in conditions where it is possible to run an AWACS chandelier along the border, it is in the depth of the enemy's defense.
But first you need to find out from somewhere that the Iskander division has gone somewhere and arrived somewhere.

Why can't you hang AWACS?
Is it war already?
Then where did our Iskanders come from and where did they go? If they were just about to leave their places of deployment, then they were already destroyed, if they left in advance, before the war, then AWACS and Globalhoks could see them without any problems.
And yes, the time for transferring information from them to the "tractor" is not minutes, seconds.

Quote: abc_alex

Someone (spies!) called you from 100 kilometers away and said that Iskander's car had passed him. You are sending reconnaissance UAVs Hermes 900. Its cruising speed is about 120 km / h. Let's say no one noticed him or knocked him down. It will take your UAV almost an hour to reach the detection point. And on the first salvo to Iskander from the moment of stopping, less than 15 minutes

And why should they send their UAVs somewhere, they already hang everywhere and see everything 500 km into our depths. And plus each of their aircraft, and each radar on the ground, and each binoculars.

on the first salvo to Iskander from the moment of stopping less than 15 minutes

Those. Are you suggesting that we shoot first and start a world war?
Strong!

Quote: abc_alex

I repeat over and over again. Soviet weapons were made and Russian ones are being made according to different standards based on the paradigm of war with a high-tech enemy possessing ALL the means of destruction and reconnaissance available at the moment.

Does it mean that intelligence works worse for them?
I don’t believe it, it is by hook or by crook we get their electronics for our weapons, and not they are ours. And they have hundreds of different UAVs of all classes, and we have pieces, and even then they are experienced. And it is they have long ago introduced a global network-centric system for transmitting information at all levels.
The Iskander will see the "tractors" even before the central computer starts receiving and processing information, and while those 7 minutes have passed, they will have time to shoot back and leave.

[Reserve buildbat]

There is. Only 2 missiles fit into each multiple launch rocket system)))

[Professor]

This missile is being developed as part of a program to replace the army's tactical missile systems. The Pentagon plans to get a missile with a maximum range of 499 km. Why exactly such a value, similar to a store price tag?

Because the distance from the Ukrainian border to the center of Moscow is <500 km.

[carstorm 11]

Things are much worse. Placing such complexes at such distances is already a declaration of war. This was said back in the XNUMXs, as was the reaction of our General Staff to a similar scenario. No one will ever let this happen. This will enable the advance strike mechanism. Do you just think that the Iskander standing in Kaliningrad scare everyone so?

[hagen]

Quote: carstorm 11

This will enable the advance strike mechanism.

The Iskanders in Kaliningrad did not activate this mechanism. Why did you assume that in this case there will be something else? We just need to develop something similar to help Iskander, cheaper (compared to Iskander), but for the same range, 500-1800 km, with an adjustable flight path, for objects not covered by dense missile defense (Poland, Ukraine, the Baltic states) ...

And for a very long time. Back in the XNUMXs, this was voiced. The doctrine is also clearly spelled out. Just read carefully and understand what threats are. Do you think the main reason for Crimea is taking care of Crimeans? And this is a threat of the same order and probably even more.

[hagen]

Quote: carstorm 11

The doctrine is also clearly spelled out. Just read carefully and understand what threats are.

I don’t know how you subtracted the red lines in the doctrine, but from Deveselu to Moscow it’s only 1600 km, and BGM-109G with W-84 flies at 2500. And nothing happened. And about Crimea, I myself know that tourism there is not in the first place for us. As for the Crimeans .... you are working on Navalny's patterns. And I consider him an enemy.

[carstorm 11]

Flight time. As for Navplny and other clowns, if you really think that Crimea was taken precisely because of the protection of people there, then you are probably very naive. Sometimes just one thing overlaps with the other. Moreover, as for me, this is very good in that case.

[hagen]

Quote: carstorm 11

if you really think that Crimea was taken precisely because of the protection of people there

Crimea is a strategic bridgehead from which all of southern Europe is accessible. Together with Kaliningrad, they keep the European theater of operations in ticks. And the Crimeans keep the Crimea in a state of readiness. And if they are loyal to the authorities, then the risks of sabotage are minimized. Therefore, one is organically linked to the other. Or do you also think that the people were brought there from Russia by the millions?

[carstorm 11]

I told you so) it was not people who just pushed to make this decision, but the loss of Crimea from a strategic point of view. That's all. Because it was vital for the state. Because the deployment there at that time, having an agreement on the limitations of the medium and shorter range of any fleet other than ours, is deadly. Likewise, the deployment of OTRK and other weapons of this class 500 km from the capital bears simply horrible consequences. This is an immediate threat to the life of the state. What is clearly stated in the doctrine, as well as the actions in this case.

[hagen]

Quote: carstorm 11

it was not people who just pushed to make this decision, namely the loss of Crimea from a strategic point of view.

Politics is the art of the possible. That would not have shed blood on the Maidan, the murder of the Crimeans near Korsun would not have happened, but everything would have gone as agreed, and Crimea would have remained under the Ukrainian flag, with Poroshenko and Ze. And what pushed anyone, no one will tell you or me anything, except for the official version. At least another fifty years.

1. The range of the Iskander has not been limited to 500 km for a long time. This is what motivated the bourgeoisie to withdraw from the treaties.
2. The distance from the state border to the Iskander locations allows them to be destroyed by enemy long-range artillery. This is in response to your question "Who has long-range weapons in close proximity to enemy artillery?"
The question is: "Who will have time to destroy these Iskanders?"

Well, yes, well, yes, it won't! The sun will shine brightly! Especially over the northern hemisphere after hundreds of thousands of tons of ash rise into the air from the explosions themselves, as well as their consequences.
2. Countries that have not been subjected to a nuclear strike will receive a bunch of problems on their territories from hunger to internecine wars, since the loss of their peace leaders will give carte blanche to solve long-standing problems from territories and resources to technologies and industries.
3. Savages of the Amazon, as they do not depend on the outside world. And that's not a fact.
4. Indeed, in order to maintain the efficiency of communication and electricity, they will have to simply recreate the entire technological chain, since only the pyramids are eternal and that, there are doubts.

[Professor]

1. Why docs?
Missile defense in Romania against Iranian missiles. Look at the map.
In the other hemisphere, life will not suffer much. Far from the Stone Age.
2. After famine and internecine wars (both are present now), they will continue to live as they did.
3. In addition to the savages of the Amazon, billions of people will live without the Northern Hemisphere.
4. To maintain a standard of living corresponding to the middle of the 20th century, they will have enough of their resources. There can be no talk of any Stone Age.

[Horon]

Understandable and noticeable! I especially liked the map. Can the Iranians also put some kind of wunerwafli to drive the Somali pirates. Or in Syria.

To maintain a standard of living corresponding to the middle of the 20th century, they will have enough of their own resources. There can be no talk of any Stone Age.

God, I'm talking to a child! These countries will need to restore and develop their technological and economic chains in the context of widespread local wars, the invasion of multi-million army of refugees, internal social explosions, destroyed international transport and economic links and climatic fluctuations over the course of decades. What you can observe in countries such as Somalia, Libya or Jordan, only enlarged hundreds of times and without the possibility of technological support. In conditions of overpopulation of the planet, and even a significant part of it will be unsuitable for life, civilization will be thrown back for thousands of years in development, several decades after nuclear armageddon! The fact that people have ceased to be afraid of a big war is the first sign of its imminent start. Apparently and true, the Earth decided to get rid of the parasite in the face of man!

It will turn out. Not in stone, of course, but close.
What is the basis of the global division of labor today? This is the very thing that allows the Israelis, for example, to move in cars, rather than donkeys and mules. On world trade. And what is the basis of world trade? On the global financial system. On cross-border transfer schemes. And what are the cross-border transfers based on? On the dollar system.
We take out the US and the dollar from the scheme. We take out Europe and the euro. China and yuan. Russia and the ruble. What's left? Scattered local markets remain without the possibility of direct trade. This would mean the end of cross-border trade other than between neighboring countries. The very concept of the "world market" will disappear at once, and with it the industries working for it. This means minus all large-scale mechanical engineering. The world economy is fragmented into closed systems capable of self-sufficiency.
This is certainly not the Stone Age, but very close to late feudalism.
"Continents" did you mean Australia, Africa and South America? Well, what will it do? Africa even now does not shine with economic success, and after the cessation of mass purchases from North America and Eurasia, it will quickly return to the state of the Middle Ages.
South America may be able to cope with the economic problems of self-sufficiency. But again, this will require reformatting the economies of entire countries. For example, what should Brazil do with its beef in such a volume? Who will need it? Where should Venezuela do with its oil? Nowhere. And there are no resources for restructuring economies.
Australia is cool, of course. But what should Australia do with wool (it holds 30% of the world market) and mutton? Now they are being transported to the BV, but with the collapse of the system of cross-border trade where? And most importantly, who will need Australian coal, bauxite and uranium? And this is 30% of exports. And it would be okay to export. Australia's imports include pharmaceuticals from the US and Europe.
Moreover. The collapse of the global financial market will immediately affect the resources of the economies. "Assets" such as derivatives and "market capitalization" would be meaningless. Stocks, bonds, treasuries - all of this will instantly become fiction. This means that most of the local and not so banks will disappear like morning fog. Including many government ones. Reserves in "currency" and "treasuries" will be reduced to nothing. Even gold will become marginally liquid.

And I'm not talking about how international trade will suffer in the literal sense of the word. What will become of sea trade in a situation when there is a mass of armed ships in the ocean, whose captains have nowhere to lead them?

And where does the aviation base?
It is necessary to think about reducing the size of the rocket, the launching machine, and, accordingly, about a multiple reduction in the price of the complex.
And so it is never correct to compare the Iskander "log" with the small PrSM, because the weight categories are too different, and the price too.
Now, if our Iskander could be shoved into the Tornado, or at least the Hurricane, then yes.
