Ground Based Anti-Ship Missile
Abstract
This is a critical CMC Force Design program. As the Marine Corps' first Ground Based Anti-Ship Missile (GBASM) capability, the Navy/Marine Expeditionary Ship Interdiction System (NMESIS) is a Service Force Design Initial Operating Capability (IOC) priority central to the Marine Corps' contribution to the Naval Expeditionary Force's (NEF) anti-surface warfare campaign. Ground based launchers add a new type of threat against a peer adversary, stress different surveillance and offensive systems, are hard to detect and track in a cluttered environment, and add a significant level of persistence and depth to existing anti-ship capabilities. NMESIS will be employed by Medium-range Missile (MMSL) batteries serving as part of Marine Littoral Regiments (MLR) conducting Expeditionary Advanced Base Operations (EABO) while persisting inside the adversary's weapons engagement zone (WEZ). When integrated into sensor and communication networks supporting a naval/maritime killchain, and synchronized with employment of other missile systems, the Marine Corps' MMSL battery will serve as a component of the NEF "stand-in force" in support of the naval sea control effort. NMESIS consists of two Naval Strike Missiles (NSM) and a launcher/weapon control system integrated on to a ground-based, remotely operated carrier (called ROGUE-Fires). It will provide a ground based anti-access/area denial, anti-ship capability. This program includes design, development, test and production of the NSM launcher, ROGUE-Fires carrier, Weapons Control System (WCS), and Command and Control (C2) connections to enable the transport and firing of NSMs. NMESIS makes extensive use of proven sub-systems, such as the Joint Light Tactical Vehicle (JLTV) chassis, the U.S. Navy's Naval Strike Missile and its WCS. FY21 completes the hardware design configuration and initial testing. FY 2022 procures test assets and conducts Operational Assessments with ballistic testing in preparation for IOT&E in FY 2023. This will enable an initial set of NMESIS to be deployed to the Marine Littoral Regiment (MLR) in early FY 2024.
