V Pershing II sistem orožja je bila dvo stopenjska balistična raketa s trdnim gorivom, ki jo je zasnoval in zgradil Martin Marietta, da bi nadomestila raketni sistem Pershing 1a Field Artillery Missile System kot primarno orožje ameriške vojske na jedrski ravni. 1983 je 1983 zamenjala pershing 1a z orožjem Pershing II, nemško letalstvo pa je pershing 1a obujalo, dokler leta 1991 niso bili izločeni vsi Pershingi. Vojaško raketno poveljstvo ZDA (MICOM) je upravljalo razvoj in izboljšave, medtem ko je poljska topnišnična veja razporejala sisteme in razvila taktično doktrino.

V Pershing II was a medium-range ballistic missile developed by Martin Marietta to replace the Pershing I as the primary nuclear-capable weapon of the United States Army in Europe. It had a range of 1,100 miles and a variable-yield W85 warhead that could be set from 5 to 80 kilotons. The Pershing II was designed to be more accurate and survivable than its predecessor, using a maneuverable reentry vehicle with active radar guidance and a two-stage solid propellant rocket engine. The Pershing II was deployed in 1983 in response to the Soviet Union’s deployment of the SS-20 Saber missile, which had a longer range and two warheads. The Pershing II and the SS-20 were both eliminated under the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty signed in 1987 by Ronald Reagan and Mikhail Gorbachev.
