The U.S. Army plans to invest more than $1 Billion for developing and test next-generation, long-range precision-strike missile designed for the U.S. Army’s PrSM program.

According to the Inside Defense, the Army is projecting it will buy 1,018 Precision Strike Missiles for $1 billion across the fiscal year 2021 future years defense program.

This new surface-to-surface weapon system will deliver enhanced capabilities to attack, neutralize, suppress and destroy targets using missile-delivered indirect fires out to 499+ kilometers. PrSM provides the Joint Force Commander with increased range, lethality, survivability and missile load out. These enhanced capabilities are critical to the successful execution of Fires in support of Multi-Domain Operations.

One that feels guilty when it explodes?
Okay did some reading An insensitive munition is one that will not detonate under any conditions other than its intended mission to destroy a target. If it is struck by fragments from an explosion or hit by a bullet, it will not detonate. So sounds like it's a good idea to replace replace non- insensitive munitions.
