U.S. Marine Corps to Introduce Loitering Munitions into Infantry Battalions in January 2026

As reported by National Defense, the US Marine Corps is scheduled to begin receiving the first new loitering munitions systems to its units by January 2026, according to military officials.

In April 2024, the service announced the selection of AeroVironment, Anduril Industries, and Teledyne FLIR for its Organic Precision Fires-Light (OPF-L) program. Each company was awarded an initial contract under an Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) agreement, with values of $8.9 million for AeroVironment, $6.4 million for Anduril, and $12 million for Teledyne FLIR. The combined ceiling of the IDIQ contract is $249 million.
