Organic Precision Fires Light is intended to give rifle squads and platoons a man packable, organic, loitering precision strike capability to engage targets beyond line of sight. Teledyne FLIR said Rogue 1 has demonstrated effectiveness in multiple exercises against moving and stationary armour, soft skinned vehicles and dismounted targets.
The system supports modular payloads with lethal effects tailored to specific targets, and its advanced fuzing allows an operator to recover and reuse the aircraft when missions are halted. Teledyne FLIR noted that this reduces the load Marines must carry while improving their tactical options in the field.
Rogue 1 also integrates electro optical and FLIR Boson 640+ thermal cameras to provide day and night long range reconnaissance and surveillance. The manufacturer said a coupling between sensors and the warhead in the gimballed payload enables highly precise targeting.
Dr JihFen Lei, President of Teledyne FLIR Defense, said: “The accuracy and modularity of the Rogue 1 platform will enhance Marine lethality against whatever threats they may encounter in future conflicts. We’re honored to support the OPF-L program and will continue to work with the Marine Corps to quickly field technology innovations they need to win on the battlefield.”
George Bobb, President and Chief Executive Officer of Teledyne Technologies, said: “While Teledyne provides a broad range of unmanned air, ground, and subsea systems, this award represents our first production rate contract in the loitering munition market, following the initial test and evaluation contract in 2024.”
