US Brutal Assault: NMESIS Shot from Land, Sea, Air. China is helplessly forced to withdraw by the US

NMESIS is a ground based anti-ship missile supporting amphibious and land-to-sea attack operations

Navy ships have for years been able to attack and destroy enemy ships from the ocean with surface fired anti-ship missiles, yet launch points can have little flexibility making it more difficult to establish the element of surprise.

Now, in keeping the the Pentagon’s fast-evolving multi-domain warfare strategy, the Marine Corps has acquired a weapon aligned with its ongoing strategic initiative to develop a land-based anti-ship missile.

The Corps’ Long Range Fires program office has acquired NMESIS, a ground based anti-ship missile able to support amphibious operations and land-to-sea attack.

Interestingly, the Navy and Marine Corps have been working with the Army to explore the use of Army land-based munitions as weapons able to attack ships at sea. As one senior Army weapons developer put it to me, it does not matter if a target is over the ocean, we can still fire at it and attack from land.”

These kinds of efforts included using land-fired rockets and artillery to target and destroy maritime targets. NMESIS, which is a ground fired Naval Strike Missile, is the first actual fully application of its Ground Based Anti-Ship Missile program.

GBASM: Ground Based Anti-Ship Missile Program “While the GBASM requirement can encompass multiple materiel solutions and systems under the GBASM requirement, NMESIS is the first system for the Marine Corps providing that ground-based, anti-ship missile capability,” said Joe McPherson, program manager for Long Range Fires at MCSC, said in a Marine Corps story.

The Marine Corps GBASM is intended to be a disaggregated, multi-domain mix of combat tactics and variables to include advanced maritime, air and land-based operations, including an ability for newer kinds of land-sea “island hopping” amphibious attack wherein Marines and even heavy weapons transport and transition quickly from sea to shore and back .. quickly.

“Everything our adversaries have designed over the last 20-30 years are intended to counter [the DOD’s] ships and aircraft,” McPherson said in the Corps’ story. “The Marine Corps bringing a ground-based solution complicates [the adversary’s] ability to counter our anti-ship capabilities since ground-based launchers, as we’ve found in previous wars, are hard to find. This is what NMESIS brings to the fight—a launcher that is survivable inside the enemy’s weapons engagement zone.”

LAW: Light Amphibious Warship The NMESIS effort clearly seems to introduce advantages for amphibious warfare and may be transported by the Corp’s now-in-development “island-hopping” Light Amphibious Warship.

The LAW, as its called, is a mobile, littoral, amphibious warfare oriented attack and transport system for Marines and weapons systems, the kind of platform of particular value should there be a need to set up land-fired weapons on islands or coastal areas as part of a maritime operation.

NMESIS represents the growing extent to which the Navy and Marine Corps are continuing to find new uses and potential adaptations for its Naval Strike Missile which now arms the Littoral Combat Ship. The Corps is doing this for the purpose of widening the mission envelope to encompass a greater sphere of attack possibilities to include amphibious attack, more varied maritime attack and even mobile ground-based anti-ship missile fires.

NSM: Naval Strike Missile, Uses & Production The NSM, a Raytheon-Kongsberg weapon in development for many years, arms the LCS to offer an over-the-horizon attack option to the ship, something designed to give commanders an ability to track and destroy incoming anti-ship missiles at safer ranges.

Additional uses for the weapon include the engineering of new variants that can fire from land to destroy anti-ship missiles from different vantage points. Additional adaptations to the weapon include wider distribution across the LCS fleet and, perhaps v various kinds of electronic enhancements or software upgrades to improve guidance, reliability or range.

The Naval Strike missile first emerged in 2012 and includes a 156-in missile powered by a launch phase solid propellant rocket motor booster and a turbo-jet engine fueled by JP-10 to enable subsonic speeds and sustained flight.

While weapons themselves are rarely referred to as stealthy, the NSM is designed to have a lower radar signature by virtue of being able to attack close to the surface in sea-skimming mode, essentially below the aperture of many ship-based radars. The weapon also has a range of up to 100 nautical miles as well as advanced seeker technology, Raytheon developers said.

China brought a knife to a gunfight

No be small thing ooooooooo. Let's see how they will react as WW3 gathers momentum

China brought a knife to a gunfight

Don't joke with Gods own country.

There's a reason why they have the "Eagle's Symbol", they are the the protectors of the israelites. My earnest expectations and hops is that they do not betray, which of course would be so till the return of the King of Kings and Lord of Lords...

China be making mouth before ... The dragon shall be trample under our feet...

They brought a toothpick.

They brought a toothpick.

You people can be so easily deceived.

Though the video is just a propaganda but i am sure if it is a propaganda video about china attacking US, you will hailing china. You are no difference from those commenting blindly.

Because China is just that foolish to be attacking people? When last did China attack anyone?
