The US Marine Corps (USMC) awarded Oshkosh Defense with a USD23.7 million contract to produce the chassis for its new Navy Marine Expeditionary Ship Interdiction System (NMESIS).

The Pentagon announced the new indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity Remotely Operated Ground Unit for Expeditionary (ROGUE) Fires contract on 29 September and said this deal covers work until November 2023.

ROGUE Fires is an unmanned 4×4 Joint Lightweight Tactical Vehicle (JLTV) that houses a launcher to fire two of Raytheon's Naval Strike Missiles (NSMs).

This weapon system is part of the service's larger Force Design 2030 plan, and it has been testing and refining the design while also demonstrating early versions of the ground-based weapon. For example, during the ‘Large-Scale Exercise 2021' in August 2021, the service said NMESIS “successfully hit” targets.
