Multiple-Launch Rocket System Family of Munitions

Abstract

This line develops a Multiple Launch Rocket System (MLRS) Family of Munitions (MFoM) launcher to be integrated on the Remotely Operated Ground Unit for Expeditionary Fires (ROGUE-Fires) carrier. This development provides Medium-range Missile (MMSL) batteries the capability to utilize the ROGUE-Fires carrier for either Navy Marine Expeditionary Ship Interdiction System (NMESIS) launchers with Naval Strike Missiles (NSM) or MFoM launchers capable of firing the entire MFoM currently employed by HIMARS units. This capability will increase the vehicle commonality and the employment flexibility throughout the artillery regiments and Marine Littoral Regiments. The MFoM launcher will consist of a MFoM launch unit, Fire Control System (FCS), and a Weapon Control System (WCS). The MFoM launcher will be installed on a ground-based, tele-operated carrier (ROGUE-Fires) and when paired with a ROGUE-Fires leader kit will control up to three launchers per section. The launcher will be capable of firing the Guided Multiple Launch Rocket System (GMLRS) missile and the new Precision Strike Missile (PrSM) when fielded. This effort includes design, development, integration, and test of the MFoM launcher for integration with the ROGUE-Fires carrier. The MFoM launcher makes extensive use of existing systems, including the M142 HIMARS electronics. FY 2024 continued development, built two additional MFoM launcher prototypes, and conducted a technology demonstration. FY 2025 continues development and conducts developmental testing.
