据红石兵工厂本周宣布,美国陆军于周二与Anduril、Castelion、洛克希德·马丁、Mach Industries和RTX签署协议,旨在打造先进的远程导弹原型。
The U.S. Army on Tuesday signed agreements with Anduril, Castelion, Lockheed Martin, Mach Industries and RTX to create advanced long-range missile prototypes, Redstone Arsenal announced this week.
每家公司将为精确打击导弹(PrSM)第四增量计划开发相关能力,制造可由M142高机动性火箭炮系统(HIMARS)发射的导弹,能够打击621英里(约1000公里)以外移动中的海上和陆地目标。
Each company will develop capabilities for the Precision Strike Missile (PrSM) Increment 4 program, making missiles that can be launched from the M142 High Mobility Artillery Rocket System, or HIMARS, and that can hit maritime and land targets in motion more than 621 miles away.
根据声明,2027财年的开发工作将以“竞争性飞行测试和筛选”告终。
According to the release, development in Fiscal Year 2027 will conclude in “a competitive fly-off and down-select.”
在2028财年,各公司将参与最终飞行测试,展示有效设计的公司可能会获得额外协议。
In Fiscal Year 2028, companies will participate in a final fly-off and those that have shown effective designs may be awarded additional agreements.
周二签署的其他交易授权协议,是在陆军授予洛克希德·马丁12亿美元合同以生产其短程弹道导弹约一周后达成的。
The Tuesday Other Transaction Authority agreements come roughly a week after the Army awarded a $1.2 billion contract for Lockheed Martin to produce its short-range ballistic missiles.
根据该公司的声明,该合同涉及第二增量PrSM的初始生产和未来订单。
According to the company’s release, the contract is for initial production and future orders of the Increment 2 PrSM.
据美国中央司令部称,美军首次在实战中对伊朗目标发射了洛克希德·马丁的PrSM导弹。
The U.S. military launched a Lockheed Martin PrSM for the first time in combat against Iranian targets, according to the U.S. Central Command.
尽管该司令部予以否认,但专家认为,一枚据报会散布小型弹头的PrSM导弹在2月28日造成了伊朗拉梅尔德市数十名平民死亡。
Though the command has denied it, experts think that a PrSM missile — which reportedly disperses small projectiles — killed dozens of civilians in Lamerd, an Iranian city, on Feb. 28.
