Australia has signed an agreement with the US to jointly advance and maintain the Precision Strike Missile project.
This formalizes deeper military-technical collaboration under a shared strategic umbrella in the Indo-Pacific.
The PrSM is capable of striking high-priority targets at long range with precision, avoiding GPS jamming.
This aligns with Australia’s push to enhance its deterrence and strike capabilities against evolving regional threats.
Australian participation in the missile’s supply chain will strengthen its defense industry.
Companies will gain access to cutting-edge technologies and broaden workforce expertise.
Negotiations are set to begin for the localized production and maintenance of PrSM systems.
The project could contribute to a new missile manufacturing corridor in Australia.
