Key Takeaways

  • The US Marine Corps has selected L3Harris as the winner of its Precision Attack Strike Munition program.
  • Contract worth $86.2 million to deliver unspecified number of ‘Red Wolf’ weapons by end of fiscal 2027.
  • PASM expected to provide cost-effective, longer-range precision weapon for AH-1Z aircraft in land and sea-based environments.

Strategic Implications

This selection may indicate the Marine Corps’ preference for L3Harris’ technology in precision munition systems. The $86.2 million contract value suggests significant investment in the PASM program, which could benefit all three competitors regardless of final award.
