Description

The US Marine Corps Navy Marine Expeditionary Ship Interdiction System (NMESIS) is a ground-based anti-ship missile system. The coastal defense system uses the Raytheon/Kongsberg NSM subsonic, long-range anti-ship missile mounted onto the JLTV tactical vehicle carrying the fire control system as well. The modified JLTV is fitted with the HIMARS launching system with two NSM missiles. The NMESIS was first test fired in November 2020 from the JLTV mobile platform and was expected to be fielded before the end of 2021. The first production system launch was completed in July 2023. The first NMESIS anti-ship missile system, operated by the US Marine Corps, is expected to be operational in Okinawa, Japan, by 2026.
