LONG RANGE FIRES

Abstract

Consistent with the National Defense Strategy direction to increase capacity of long-range, precision weapons, the Long Range Fire (LRF) capability will provide Combatant Commanders with the ability to employ an agile, mobile, land-based system, capable of launching Tomahawk cruise missiles to complement surface and sub-surface launched missiles. The LRF weapon system consists of a ROGUE-Fires carrier (same design as the Navy and Marine Corps Expeditionary Ship Interdiction System (NMESIS) carrier), integrated with a single cell MK-41 vertical launch system launcher (a similar configuration to those employed by the US Navy) for the employment of an encanistered Tomahawk missile, and Tactical Tomahawk Weapons Control System.
