Procurement, Marine Corps

Organic Precision Strike (Medium) will meet the Marine Corps Forces Special Operations Command (MARSOC) requirement for a lethal precision capability by procuring the Spike NLOS (Non Line of Sight) system to support current combat operations.

Spike NLOS is a multi-purpose, electro-optical (EO), Man-in-the-loop (MITL) missile system with a real-time wireless data link for ranges up to 32 km (minimum range of 1 km). It's manufactured by the Israeli company Rafael Advanced Defense Systems and is being delivered to US Special Forces via Lockheed Martin in partnership with Rafael. Spike NLOS is in operational use by USSOCOM, Spain, United Kingdom, South Korea, and Columbia. Spike NLOS or a like capability is a solid candidate to replace our aging Saber/TOW systems and modernize our infantry to meet the requirements identified in the Marine Corps Operating Concept. The Spike NLOS launcher and High Explosive Anti-Tank (HEAT) and Penetrator Blast Fragmentation (PBF) missiles match or exceed the capabilities of the Saber/TOW systems in range and effects. Such precision fires organic to the infantry would enable small units to achieve greater effects, shorten the kill chain at the tactical edge, counter threats within and outside complex and compartmentalized terrain, and harness the capabilities of our organic UAS. Capability / Shortfall: MARSOFs require the ability to strike stationary and mobile point targets in real time out to the limits of their ability to positively ID targets with organic ground and airborne ISR (AISR) assets while minimizing collateral damage. Potential target sets include personnel in the open or under light cover, light frame or single layer brick buildings, and unarmored or lightly armored vehicles (moving and stationary), to include vehicle-borne improvised explosive devices (VBIED) or high value targets (HVT) moving at speeds up to 45mph.

Lockheed Martin Delivers Long-Range Precision Strike Missile System on Joint Light Tactical Vehicles
ORLANDO, Fla., May 10, 2022 - Lockheed Martin [NYSE: LMT] successfully delivered the Spike Non-Line-of-Sight (NLOS) missile system on the Oshkosh’s Joint Light Tactical Vehicle (JLTV) to US Special Operations Command (USSOCOM). This integration demonstrates the versatility of the Spike NLOS weapon system.
Spike NLOS is a multi-purpose, electro-optical/infrared missile system. Its advanced rocket motor provides capability to reach ranges up to 32 kilometers. Users can integrate Spike NLOS with ground, aviation or maritime platforms – while leveraging its stand-off capability to strike distant or geographically concealed targets without line-of-sight.

Using a Lockheed Martin developed remote launcher, the weapon system can be mounted directly onto almost any vehicle with a standard palletized interface in less than 20 minutes, without any vehicle modifications.
