Oshkosh Defense has showcased the Remotely Operated Ground Unit for Expeditionary Fires (ROGUE-Fires) and the Stryker Double V Hull with the Oshkosh Defense 30mm Medium Caliber Weapon System at AUSA 2024 in Washington, D.C.
ROGUE-Fires is an unmanned ground vehicle (UGV) that leverages the Oshkosh JLTV’s extreme off-road mobility and payload capacity and advanced autonomous vehicle technologies to support Ground-Based Anti-Ship Missile (GBASM) operations. Designed to operate in both teleoperated and fully autonomous modes, ROGUE-Fires serves as a versatile launch platform capable of handling various weapon payloads or performing distributed logistics operations.
Pat Williams, Chief Programs Officer at Oshkosh Defense, said; “Developed for the U.S. Marine Corps, ROGUE-Fires is redefining operational capabilities in contested environments. Our team is excited to demonstrate how this next-generation technology is transitioning into fielded systems and how it can be adapted to meet the mission needs of the Army.”
The Oshkosh Defense MCWS is a transformational lethality solution that provides Stryker Brigade Combat Teams (SBCTs) with improved firepower and increased accuracy at longer engagement ranges. Oshkosh demonstrated the system’s advanced adaptability through integration of a Javelin ATGM launcher capability.
Williams added; “Since the MCWS contract award in 2021, Oshkosh has partnered with the Army to incorporate features specifically designed for the Stryker mission.
“Soldier feedback has played a significant role in shaping the requirements of the MCWS that we are delivering today, and we look forward to showcasing it during AUSA.”
