GROUND BASED ANTI-SHIP MISSILE

The Ground Based Anti-Ship Missile (GBASM) under the Navy/Marine Expeditionary Ship Interdiction System (NMESIS), aims to provide a critical modernization capability for the Marine Corps to counter the Nation's pacing threat in anti-surface warfare. The program focuses on developing and integrating the Naval Strike Missile (NSM) launcher, ROGUE-Fires carrier, Weapons Control System (WCS), and Command and Control (C2) connections to enable the transport and firing of NSMs. The GBASM program is designed to enhance the Marine Corps' anti-ship capabilities by providing a ground-based anti-access/area denial capability, with specific goals of countering peer adversaries and supporting naval sea control efforts.

The program's objectives include completing developmental and operational testing, transitioning into production, and initiating development of Engineering Change Proposals (ECPs) in FY 2024. This includes completing New Equipment Training (NET) for Initial Operational Test & Evaluation (IOT&E) with Production Representative Models (PRM), conducting IOT&E events including ballistic testing, and initiating the development and integration of ECPs focused on continuous improvement of communications, navigation, and product support. Additionally, the program aims to enhance the capability fielded in FY 2023 to allow for future growth within the fielded Medium-range Missile (MMSL) batteries through simultaneous fire control of multiple launchers by a single section and increased capabilities for navigation and product support.
