The new missile system, designated Joint Tactical Missile System (JTACMS), soon encountered USAF resistance to the idea of an air-launched ballistic missile. As a result, in 1984 the USAF ended its participation in the non-cruise missile portion of the program, leading to the missile being redesignated as the Army Tactical Missile System (ATACMS).
This will extend the range of Australia's PrSM missiles beyond 620 mi and will potentially rival Australia's longest range missile, the BGM-109 Tomahawk. [14] The United Kingdom, as part of an upgrade to the British Army's M270 MLRS to the M270A2 standard, has hinted that it may possibly acquire PrSM. [15]
Iron Dome uses principles that are similar to a true anti-ballistic missile system to intercept slower-moving short-range rockets and artillery projectiles, employing the Tamir missile at ranges of up to 70km and altitudes to 10km, at a cost of about $50,000 per missile. Iron Dome also has an anti-aircraft capability.

The Army Tactical Missile System (ATACMS) is a series of 610 mm surface-to-surface missile (SSM) with a range of up to 300 km (190 mi). [88] Each rocket pod contains one ATACMS missile. As of 2022, only the M48, M57, and M57E1 remain in the US military's arsenal. M39 (ATACMS BLOCK I) missile with inertial guidance. The missile carries 950 M74 ...
The Aerojet Rocketdyne AR1 is a 2,200-kilonewton-class (500,000 lbf) thrust RP-1/LOX oxidizer-rich staged combustion cycle rocket engine project. [1]The engine was conceived in 2014, and received US government funding to build a prototype engine in 2016. [2]
Light multipurpose air-to-surface missile. Debuted at the 9th Zhuhai Airshow in November 2012. Improved version of AR-1 UCAV missile. CM-502KG has an 11-kg warhead similar in size to that of the AR-1, but its maximum range is more than twice that of AR-1, up to 25 km. Four chopped control fins. [10] CM-506KG Air-to-surface guided bomb.
