The Army Is Turning HIMARS Into a Ship Killer

The U.S. Army is giving HIMARS a new target: enemy warships. Precision Strike Missile Increment 2 is being developed with a multi-mode seeker capable of tracking moving targets, including vessels at sea. If it works as intended, mobile Army launchers positioned along coastlines and Pacific islands could threaten ships hundreds of miles away.

The video examines how PrSM Increment 2 differs from ATACMS and the original PrSM, how soldiers could locate and engage ships beyond the horizon, why the Army is moving into naval warfare, and the challenges that could prevent the concept from working as advertised.
