  5. NLOS-LS Concept of Operation GPS LAM Self Aligning Remote Control Launcher Observed Fires Report BDA Report Redirect LADAR ATR PAM UCIR w/ATR Short Time of Flight Immediate Attack ECC Wide LAM Search Area • Provide Responsive, Networked, Extended-RangeTargeting and PrecisionAttack of Armored, Lightly Armored and Other Stationary and Moving Targets During Day/Night and Near All-Weather Conditions • Be Highly Deployable and Platform Independent

  6. Fills Capability Gaps in Brigade Combat Team Forces Has ability to overcome large TLEs, precisely kill hard and soft targets that are moving or stationary by target designation or autonomous means from stand-off ranges Operational Flexibility Offers joint forces tremendous flexibility across a spectrum of conflicts with efficient logistics, ease of transportability, and greatly reduced collateral damage Maturity of the System Program has been under contract since 1998 and had numerous successes Building Block for the UA Gives current forces a major piece of the FCS lethality capability now Why is NLOS-LS in Spiral 1? NLOS-LS Brings the Future to Today’s Joint Forces
