Oshkosh Defense, LLC, an Oshkosh Corporation company, announced that the Marine Corps Systems Command has placed a $39.5 million order for additional remotely operated ground-based anti-ship missile vehicle.

Based on the Oshkosh Defense joint light tactical vehicles, ROGUE Fires is an unmanned ground vehicle that leverages the JLTV’s extreme off-road mobility, payload capacity and Oshkosh’s advanced autonomous vehicle technologies to support ground-based anti-ship missile operations. The unmanned technology associated with ROGUE Fires allows the vehicle to operate in teleoperator or leader-follower mode.

“Oshkosh Defense is committed to providing mission-critical capabilities and innovation to support the U.S. Marine Corps and their modernization plans,” said Pat Williams, chief programs officer for Oshkosh Defense. “The adaptable design of ROGUE Fires leverages next-generation technologies and allows for integration of scalable weapon system payloads to meet mission requirements.”

In August 2023, Oshkosh Defense delivered six initial Production Representative Models (PRMS) in support of the Marine Corps’ modernizations plans of Force Design 2030.
