Combat Capability Development Transition

Abstract

The Navy/Marine Expeditionary Ship Interdiction System (NMESIS) is an RDT&E effort to develop long term and short term solutions for an Anti-Ship Missile (ASM) to be integrated within a High Mobility Artillery Rocket System (HIMARS) Battalion and sustain a Joint Force military advantage. This capability is in support of the Marine Corps Expeditionary Advanced Base Operations (EABO) and the National Defense Strategy (NDS) approach to build a more lethal Joint Force. This capability provides the Marine Corps layered missile defense with disruptive capability, influencing significant lead lines of communication world-wide. NMESIS will prototype a USMC system while leveraging other Service-developed missiles to provide a ground based anti-access/area denial, anti-ship capability. ASM capabilities will be further developed through advanced component improvements and launcher integration into a complex, prototype and unmanned ground vehicle system. The prototyping effort will include the development, design, build, and initial testing of a Remotely Operated Ground Unit Expeditionary (ROGUE) Fires vehicle. ROGUE-Fires is an unmanned ground vehicle based system on a Joint Light Tactical Vehicle (JLTV) chassis, capable of mounting a wide range of missile systems for dynamic force employment and supports the National Defense Strategy (NDS) objective to evolve innovative operational concepts. NMESIS will provide strategic deterrence in the global operational environment through layered missile capability and dynamic force employment. The Sea Mob: Swarming Long Range Unmanned Surface Vehicles (USVs) is a developmental project with the purpose of testing and operational development within the Marine Corps Warfighting Laboratory which will capitalize on extending the range of surface and subsurface reconnaissance in addition to limited strike capability utilizing swarm technology. Sea Mob unmanned surface vehicle will provide a platform for the launch of Organic Precision Fires (OPF) to address sea and land targets, and the launch and recovery of smaller unmanned surface craft for reconnaissance and unmanned underwater vehicles for hydrographic survey/mine detection.
