American technology company L3Harris Technologies has announced a new family of Red Wolf and Green Wolf launched effects vehicles.
The series of multi-role vehicles is designed to easily integrate and launch from air, ground, or maritime-based platforms, according to a company statement published on 17 July.
Red Wolf is a kinetic platform for long-range precision strikes, while Green Wolf is an electronic warfare platform equipped with electronic attack and detect, identify, locate and report capabilities.
Both vehicles are flexible, modular, and feature advanced software for in-flight collaboration and retargeting, as well as supporting swarming capability of autonomous aircraft – according to the company.
“Our launched effects ‘wolf pack’ provides US military branches – regardless of platform – with a significant advantage in closing long-range kill chains, defeating adversarial threats in challenging environments and protecting assets,” said L3Harris Space and Airborne Systems president Ed Zoiss.
“The Red Wolf and Green Wolf are lethal, modular, affordable and ready to hunt.”
The company intends the series of launched effects vehicles to meet demand from the US Department of Defense for advanced, capable and affordable munitions to employ across multiple services and domains.
The platforms can be recoverable, providing flexibility to develop and integrate different payloads.
L3Harris intends to build dozens of systems as part of low-rate initial production by the end of 2025, supported by infrastructure expansions and automation enhancements.
