Expeditionary Medical Systems: Increasing Warfighter Survivability in Littoral Combat

In this era of renewed great power competition, Marine Corps Systems Command's Expeditionary Medical Systems, or EMS, team is crucial. Tasked with supplying advanced medical devices and technology for deployed emergency and resuscitative healthcare, their work serves to enhance clinical outcomes for casualties in contested environments.

LEON and the Corps’ Robotic Revolution in the Global Littorals

As the Marine Corps prepares to take the fight to the global littorals, Marine Corps Systems Command’s Program Manager for Explosive Hazard Defeat’s Littoral Explosive Ordnance Neutralization—LEON--integrated product team is working on fielding a family of systems to strengthen Marine Corps mine warfare capabilities.

Forging the Future: How Advanced Manufacturing Is Revolutionizing Marine Corps Logistics

The AMS team is leading the charge to field bleeding-edge solutions (read 3D printing) to ensure the warfighter has access to mission-critical equipment and replacement parts without having to rely on traditional supply lines or navigate the constraints of iron mountains.

Force Design 2030: Acquisition for the Future Battlefield

The 2018 National Defense Strategy warns that U.S. adversaries are actively challenging the long-standing rules-based international order, thus “creating a security environment more complex and volatile than any we have experienced in recent memory.” Building on the Pentagon’s observations, Gen. David H. Berger, then-commandant of the Marine Corps, released his seminal 2019 Commandant’s Planning Guidance, in which he proposed sweeping changes aimed at transforming the Corps from its established land-focused role in the Middle East into a naval expeditionary force-in-readiness primed for active engagement in contested maritime spaces within the Indo-Pacific region.

Shifting Gears: How the Marine Corps is Reinventing its Tactical Vehicle Fleet

For the past two decades, the Medium Tactical Vehicle Replacement, or MTVR, and the Logistics Vehicle System Replacement, or LVSR, have served as the foundation of the Marine Corps' tactical vehicle fleet, transporting Marines and critical equipment to the frontlines with speed and safety. In response to the evolving needs of the modern warfighter, Marine Corps Systems Command has received high-level requirements for the fielding of an innovative and cutting-edge Medium Tactical Truck.

The Corps’ Newest SATCOM Terminal Adds Lethality Through Speed

Designed to be transported by a single Marine – and set up by that same Marine in less than 15 minutes – MCWS-X will allow Marines on the ground to quickly and securely connect to various SATCOM frequencies while providing high throughput rate.

Next Generation Handheld Targeting System: Lightening the load for JTACs

Marines will soon have a new state-of-the-art targeting system that increases their precision on the battlefield. The Next-Generation Handheld Targeting System, or NGHTS, is an innovative, man-portable targeting system allowing Marines to rapidly and accurately conduct target location and laser guidance during combat operations.

Marine Corps successfully tests Medium Range Intercept Capability Prototype

The Marine Corps’ Medium-Range Intercept Capability prototype successfully hit several simultaneously-launched cruise missile representative targets during the live-fire test at the White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico June 30, 2022. The MRIC prototype provides Marine Corps point defense in an expeditionary package. The system is just one of several initiatives critical to Force Design 2030, addressing an emergent capability gap for the Marine Corps. Program Executive Officer Land System’s Ground-Based Air Defense program oversees the system.

Marine Corps Snipers Test New Rifle

Marine Corps snipers will soon be equipped with a longer-range, more versatile rifle designed to increase lethality and establish threat overmatch on the battlefield in support of Force Design 2030.

How the Marine Corps uses IT to defeat evolving threats

Each year, Marine Corps Systems Command acquires a range of ground-based innovations designed to meet the warfighter’s needs. This includes infantry weapons, fire support technologies, communication gear, intelligence systems and much more, all fueled by information technology.
