Combat Capability Development Transition

Abstract

Organic Precision Fires (OPF) is a Marine Corps Force Design priority and will provide multiple echelons of the Fleet Marine Force with an organic, loitering, beyond-line-of-sight precision strike capability. OPF will deliver precision effects as well as surveillance before and during target strike, while reducing the potential for collateral damage. Multiple materiel solutions are required to provide the envisioned capabilities to the Fleet Marine Force. OPF-Light will procure an existing, light-weight loitering munition for use by dismounted elements. It provides a dismounted, lightweight, man-packable, loitering munition that extends the capability of the infantry squad/platoon to engage targets to the maximum range of organic Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) assets at that level. OPF-L will provide a counter-defilade, anti-personnel and anti-materiel capability. Primary target sets for this system will be enemy personnel, crew-served weapons, and Command and Control (C2) nodes. This will be principally a platoon/squad level asset. In FY 2024, OPF-Light awarded contracts for munitions and C2 systems and began initial developmental testing. In FY 2025, the program will complete initial developmental testing.
