HitchAI read

U.S. Navy funding falls 72% to a $16.3M request in FY2027 (down from a FY2026 peak), sustained across the five-year plan. In the FY2027 defense authorization, the House funded it in full; the Senate funded it in full; House appropriators funded it in full. NAWC-WD leads the industry work, though an unusually large share flows to government labs and warfare centers.

Mission & acquisition strategy

As the Marine Corps' first Ground Based Anti-Ship Missile (GBASM) capability, the Navy/Marine Expeditionary Ship Interdiction System (NMESIS) is a priority central to the Marine Corps' contribution to the Naval Expeditionary Force's (NEF) anti-surface warfare campaign. This is a critical Service modernization capability requirement focused specifically on countering the Nation's pacing threat. Ground based launchers add a new type of threat against peer adversary, stress different surveillance, and offensive systems, are hard to detect and track in a cluttered environment and add a significant level of persistence and depth to existing anti-ship capabilities.

The GBASM concept started as an effort to conduct a live-fire, guided flight demonstration of ground based anti-ship capability to inform future requirements. The program entered Milestone B in July 2021 and was designated ACAT III with a tailored MCA program. In October 2023, NMESIS was granted Milestone C and re-designated as an ACAT II. The NMESIS program leveraged a prototype development effort to integrate the existing Naval Strike Missile (NSM) onto a tele-operated Joint Light Tactical Vehicle (JLTV) based launcher called the Remotely Operated Ground Unit for Expeditionary Fires (ROGUE-Fires), and develop/integrate the C2 and mobility control components onto a separate manned command vehicle.

FY2027 planned work - Evaluate alternative data links. - Complete development of more fuel efficient flight profile options. - Purchase test assets to continue testing of hardware and software enhancements. - Initiate subsystem updates to include engine design

FY2026 to FY2027 change The FY 2026 to FY 2027 decrease reflects completion of initial data link analysis.

FY2026 plans — current year - Purchase test assets and began testing of hardware and software enhancements. - Develop more fuel efficient flight profile options and end game survivability to be incorporated into the weapon system. These improvements will both increase maximum available range and weapon effectiveness. - Conduct initial analysis of a missile data link.

What project 6640 buys

As the primary offensive munition in the Marine Corps Ground Based Anti-Ship Missile (GBASM) capability, improving the capability of the Naval Strike Missile (NSM) is a Force Design priority central to the Marine Corps' contribution to the Naval Expeditionary Force's (NEF) surface warfare campaign. The NSM includes the missile, booster, shipping/launch container, flight software and associated items. The goal is to double the range of the current NSM missiles over the next five years. Incremental range improvements may be implemented earlier in the production baseline as they complete testing.
