The USMC System Command – Quantico VA awarded Mistral Inc. of Bethesda, MD, a contract to design, build and test the Organic Precision Fires – Mounted (OPF-M) and integrate the system onto the LAV-M, JLTV, and LRUSV.
Mistral teamed with UVision LTD to deliver the USMC with advanced and unique Loitering Strike Munition capabilities based on UVision’s Hero 120. The OPF-M will provide the Marines with ISR and highly accurate and precision indirect fire strike capabilities. Additionally, Mistral will integrate the OPF strike system, based on UVision’s Hero 120, with the USMC C2 and other mission payloads and assist the USMC in integrating the OPF Multi Launcher onto the LAV-M, JLTV, and the LRUSV.
The USMC’s selection comes after the completion of tests and evaluations at different U.S. Government test centers.
Mistral and UVision bring together decades of experience in the development and manufacturing of defense systems to address the US Marine Corp’s need for a proven precision strike loitering system.
