US firm's vehicle for long-range precision strikes to bolster Navy power

L3Harris Technologies, a Florida-based company, has been selected by the U.S. Naval Air Systems Command to develop, test, and manufacture the Red Wolf kinetic vehicles for the U.S. Marine Corps’ Precision Attack Strike Munition program. These vehicles are designed to provide long-range precision strike capabilities, addressing a critical gap in modern warfare by offering cost-effective alternatives to expensive munitions. The Red Wolf system has already undergone 52 launched effects vehicle flights, including successful low-altitude test firings from a Marine AH-1Z helicopter, demonstrating its operational readiness and versatility. The Red Wolf is part of L3Harris’ broader "wolf pack" of multi-role launched effects vehicles, which can be deployed from air, ground, or maritime platforms using standard interfaces. These vehicles are modular, flexible, and equipped with advanced software enabling in-flight collaboration, re-targeting, and autonomous swarming capabilities. Beyond kinetic strikes, the wolf pack can deliver electronic warfare, target tracking, dec
