Abstract

Over the past several decades, the USN has come up with multiple programs aimed at meeting USMC Naval Surface Fire Support (NSFS) requirements. These programs have not been fielded. At the same time, the USMC requirements have increased. This paper explores how this situation came to be, existing options, and proposes a new low cost NSFS alternative.
