The US Army has awarded Lockheed Martin a $30 million contract for Phase 2 of the Mobile-Long Range Precision Strike Missile (M-LRPSM) program to advance its Spike Non-Line-of-Sight (NLOS) system. This follows a successful Phase 1 demonstration in August 2025 where the Spike NLOS precision-guided missile effectively engaged distant and obscured targets. Under the current phase, Lockheed Martin will build and install the system on an Infantry Utility Vehicle to conduct safety and performance testing in diverse field conditions. The Spike NLOS, already in use by allied militaries, is capable of striking targets beyond direct line of sight and has been tested extensively by US Army Combat Aviation Brigades in the Middle East, Poland, and at Yuma Proving Ground. The M-LRPSM program seeks to provide mobile brigade combat teams with long-range precision-strike capability against both stationary and moving targets. It focuses on compact, vehicle-mounted launch systems suitable for dispersed and contested environments, complementing existing Army artillery and missile forces by providing smaller units with standoff strike options previously available only to larger formations. The Army aims to enhance its tactical strike options through this evolving missile program.
