Remotely Operated Ground Unit for Expeditionary Fires (ROGUE-Fires)

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. Oshkosh announced the contract to begin low-rate initial production from the Marine Corps Systems Command in October 2023.

“Developed for the U.S. Marine Corps, ROGUE-Fires is redefining operational capabilities in contested environments,” said Pat Williams, chief programs officer at Oshkosh Defense. “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 will demonstrate the system’s advanced adaptability through integration of a Javelin ATGM launcher capability. The Oshkosh MCWS completed Follow-on Operational Test and Evaluation (FOT&E) in May 2024. An integral part of the acquisition process, FOT&E allowed Soldiers an opportunity to evaluate the system under realistic operational conditions. To date, Oshkosh has delivered over 100 systems to support fielding in early 2025.

“Since the MCWS contract award in 2021, Oshkosh has partnered with the Army to incorporate features specifically designed for the Stryker mission,” continued Williams. “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.”

Oshkosh Defense leadership will be available to discuss the company’s entire portfolio of vehicles, mobility systems, and next-generation technologies at AUSA 2024 in booth #7027.
