Zitat:USMC’ Ship Killing NMESIS to Become Operational in 2023https://www.navalnews.com/naval-news/202...l-in-2023/
A Navy Marine Expeditionary Ship Interdiction System launcher, a command and control vehicle and a Joint Light Tactical Vehicle are transported by a U.S. Navy Landing Craft Air Cushion from Pacific Missile Range Facility Barking Sands, Hawaii, out to U.S.S. San Diego, Aug. 16, 2021. The movement demonstrated the mobility of a Marine Corps fires expeditionary advanced base, a core concept in the Marine Corps’ Force Design 2030 efforts. U.S. Navy and Marine Corps units came together from across 17 time zones as they participated in Large Scale Exercise 2021. [...] NMESIS recently took part in Large Scale Exercise (LSE) 21. During the exercise, NMESIS was first deployed via C130 transport aircraft and LCAC, and then took part in a sinking exercise (SINKEX) in which the system fired Naval Strike Missiles (NSM) against the decommissioned guided-missile frigate Ingraham. According to the USMC, this was the second guided flight firing for the system.
NMESIS integrates an unmanned variant of the Joint Lightweight Tactical Vehicle, the NSM and the NSM fire control system used by the U.S. Navy. [...] In terms of concept of use, Naval News understands that NMESIS is very much related to the U.S. Navy’s strategy in the Pacific and to the new Light Amphibious Warship (LAW) program. As we reported previously, the LAW will be the “new strategy and tactic” to countering the Chinese Anti-Access/Area Denial island chains around the South China Sea.
