Required fields The inaugural test proved the system s ability to fire a Naval Strike Missile, or NSM, from a U.S. Marine Corps ground launcher and score a direct hit against a surface target at sea. NSM is a multi-mission cruise missile designed to destroy heavily defended maritime and land targets; it is the U.S. Navy s over-the-horizon weapon system for littoral combat ships and future frigates. Our Naval Strike Missile is a vital weapon for denying enemies the use of key maritime terrain, said Kim Ernzen, vice president of Naval Power at Raytheon Missiles & Defense. This test further demonstrates our partnership for advancing the Marine Corps modernization priorities of enabling sea control and denial operations.
