As described in Marine Corps solicitation statements, Organic
Precision Fires-Light is a new system designed to provide rifle
squads and platoons with a man-packable “organic, loitering,
precision strike capability to engage the enemy beyond the line of
sight.”
Teledyne FLIR’s advanced small Vertical Take-off and Landing
(VTOL) loitering munition solution has proven highly successful in
tests against both moving and stationary armor, vehicles, and
dismounted targets. The ability to recover and reuse the new system
will lighten the pack load for Marines while increasing their
warfighting effectiveness.
“The flexibility, adaptability and breadth of our proposed OPF-L
platform will boost small unit lethality across the large target
set Marines must confront in today’s battlespace,” said Dr. JihFen
Lei, executive vice president and general manager of Teledyne FLIR
Defense. “We look forward to delivering on this highly advanced
technology and working closely with the Marine Corps to augment its
force projection – and protection – capabilities.”
Teledyne FLIR will deliver the first 127 loitering munition
systems to the Marines for test and evaluation later this summer.
The contract has a five-year performance period with a three-year
option.
