ROGUE Fires (Remotely Operated Ground Unit for Expeditionary Fires) is an advanced unmanned ground vehicle (UGV) developed by the U.S. Marine Corps Warfighting Lab and industry partners. It supports distributed maritime operations and expeditionary advanced base operations (EABO), enabling a single operator to control multiple autonomous or remotely operated vehicles—potentially up to 24—via advanced command-and-control software. Based on an unmanned Joint Light Tactical Vehicle (JLTV) chassis, it integrates a Multi-Mission Launcher (MML) capable of firing various precision-guided munitions, including land-attack and anti-ship missiles such as the Naval Strike Missile (NSM). Its mission is to deliver mobile, long-range precision fires in support of naval and joint forces, particularly in the Indo-Pacific. The system uses autonomous navigation, beyond-line-of-sight (BLOS) communications, and modular payloads to provide flexible, survivable fire support while reducing risk to personnel.
