The Marines are trading towed artillery for NMESIS, a remotely operated launcher carrying two Naval Strike Missiles. Why put so much faith in a small vehicle with no cab and just two shots?
We break down what the Navy-Marine Expeditionary Ship Interdiction System can do, how it fits into Force Design 2030, and why dispersed Marines on islands and coastlines could create a serious problem for enemy ships. We also tackle the obvious question: why not just use HIMARS?
Is NMESIS the right tool for the Marines’ Pacific mission? Let us know in the comments.
