Jan 30 (Reuters) – Defense contractor L3Harris Technologies said on Friday it had secured a U.S. Navy deal to develop Red Wolf vehicles for the Marine Corps’ precision-strike program.
The Red Wolf is a long-range, precision-strike missile capable of hitting moving targets including ships at distances beyond 200 nautical miles.
“Our proven Red Wolf system can bring affordable mass to the Marines’ arsenal of advanced munitions within the timeline U.S. officials have outlined to support the most lethal fighting force in the world,” said CEO Christopher Kubasik of L3Harris.
Last July, the company unveiled two new long-range missiles, Red Wolf and Green Wolf, aimed at providing lower-cost strike options as the U.S. military replenishes weapons stockpiles and strengthens its deterrence posture toward China in the Pacific.
L3Harris missed Wall Street estimates for fourth-quarter revenue on Thursday.
