The US Marine Corps (USMC) fired a Navy Strike Missile (NSM) out of its newly developed ship-killer weapons systems for the first time since 2021, according to an 18 July service announcement.

The Navy Marine Expeditionary Ship Interdiction System (NMESIS) is a Kongsberg-made NSM – which has a range of around 100 n mile – that can be launched off the back of a remotely operated Joint Light Tactical Vehicle (JLTV). This is the second NMESIS test fire that the USMC has announced in the past two years, with the previous test taking place in August 2021 at the US Navy's ‘Large Scale Exercise' in Hawaii.
