### Project 6638 — Long Range Fires

The Long Range Fires (LRF) program sought to provide Combatant Commanders with the ability to employ an agile, mobile, land-based system, capable of launching Tomahawk cruise missiles to complement surface and sub-surface launched missiles. In FY 2025, LRF completed system development and conducted testing concluding that the LRF system was not able to be employed in austere, expeditionary, littoral environments. As a result, the Marine Corps terminated the LRF program.

## Mission & acquisition strategy

The Long Range Fires (LRF) program sought to provide Combatant Commanders with the ability to employ an agile, mobile, land-based system, capable of launching Tomahawk cruise missiles to complement surface and sub-surface launched missiles. The LRF weapon system consisted of a ROGUE-Fires carrier (same design as the Navy and Marine Corps Expeditionary Ship Interdiction System (NMESIS) carrier), integrated with a single cell MK-41 vertical launch system launcher (a similar configuration to those employed by the US Navy) for the employment of an encanistered Tomahawk missile, and Tactical Tomahawk Weapons Control System. The LRF program was terminated.
