Teledyne FLIR Defense, a division of Teledyne Technologies Incorporated, has been awarded a $42.5 million contract by the U.S. Marine Corps Systems Command for Delivery Order 3 of the Organic Precision Fires-Light (OPF-L) program. The award covers more than 600 Rogue 1 lethal loitering munition systems, along with ground control stations and training kits, with fielding to Marine Corps units beginning this summer.
The OPF-L program is designed to provide rifle squads and platoons with a man-packable, loitering precision strike capability to engage enemies beyond line of sight. Teledyne FLIR’s Rogue 1 has proven successful against moving and stationary armor, soft-skinned vehicles, and dismounted targets. Operators can attach modular, mission-specific payloads for distinct target types. An advanced fuzing system allows safe return and reuse of the aircraft when targets are disengaged, lightening pack loads while increasing tactical effectiveness.
Rogue 1 features advanced electro-optical and FLIR Boson 640+ thermal cameras for day/night reconnaissance and surveillance, with a novel coupling between sensors and warhead enabling extremely precise targeting.
“The accuracy and modularity of Rogue 1 will enhance Marine lethality against whatever threats they may encounter,” said Dr. JihFen Lei, president of Teledyne FLIR Defense. “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 CEO of Teledyne Technologies, noted that this award represents Teledyne’s first production-rate contract in the loitering munition market, following the initial test and evaluation contract in 2024.
