The SRM is part of the Army’s Long Range Hypersonic Weapon (LRHW) program and the Navy’s Conventional Prompt Strike weapon, two high-speed, long-range and precision-guided projectiles capable of traveling at more than five times the speed of sound on route to destroy a target. The SRM was a live-fire test, the second in a series of assessments intended to prepare to introduce unprecedented tactical advantages when it comes to high-speed, long-range precision strikes.
