The Army has made a full-court press for precision missiles, which it says will be desperately needed in the Indo-Pacific theater in the event of a war with China. In addition to the PrSM, the service wants to add the Long Range Hypersonic weapon to its arsenal. It is expected to have a range of several thousand miles.
