Marine Corps System Command, Program Manager for Fire Support Systems (FSS), requires a Buy American compliant, OPF-L solution. The OPF-L consists of (4) major subsystems:

1. LM: Includes an integrated air vehicle, sensors/cameras, launch system and munition control interface. Referred to an All-Up-Round (AUR) when integrated with a warhead. The LM will frequently be referred to as INERT when no warhead is integrated.

2. Ground Control Station (GCS): Includes the command, control, communications, and computers infrastructure that will connect to and integrate the functions of the other subsystems. The GCS will provide the user interface to the operator to enable the capability to monitor and control all critical system interfaces and functions.

3. Training system. Initial capability expected to be integrated with the GCS. Future evolution into organic training systems is envisioned.

4. Ancillary Equipment: Includes any equipment needed to transport, maintain, and deploy the system.
