Naval Strike Missile (NSM)

The Naval Strike Missile (NSM) is a procurement initiative aimed at providing the Marine Corps' Navy/Marine Corps Expeditionary Ship Interdiction System (NMESIS) with a ground-based anti-ship capability. The program involves the procurement of the same NSM configuration as the Navy, with missile components including a missile encased in a firing canister. The primary objective is to support the Marine Corps artillery modernization plan by procuring 90 NSMs for Medium Range Missile (MMSL) batteries in FY 2024, building capacity towards the total missile requirement. Additionally, the program aims to establish a five-year Multi-Year Procurement (MYP) contract to reduce costs and maintain delivery schedules for NSMs to the Fleet and Marine Corps.

The specific goals of Program 2292 include establishing a ground-based anti-ship capability for the Marine Corps' NMESIS, aligning NSM procurement with the Navy's configuration, and supporting the Marine Corps artillery modernization plan by procuring 90 NSMs for MMSL batteries in FY 2024. Additionally, the program aims to implement a five-year Multi-Year Procurement (MYP) contract to reduce costs and maintain delivery schedules for NSMs to the Fleet and Marine Corps. The advanced procurement funding is essential to support the MYP of 90 NSMs and is designed to reduce costs for Navy and Marine Corps procurement from FY 2024 through FY 2028.
