The US Army aims to develop common launcher systems that can fire various munitions from multiple nations. This initiative is led by Gen. Christopher Donahue, focusing on interoperability among allied forces. The proposed launcher will function in both offensive and defensive roles and include a unified fire control system. The move towards optionally crewed systems stems from a desire to reduce risks to personnel. Emphasis on modularity in military systems reflects the need for adaptability to different mission requirements and combat scenarios.
"What we want to develop is a common launcher that is both offensive and defensive capable."
"Right now, there are many nations that if they buy a platform and another nation buys that platform, they're not interoperable because of that lack of common operating system."
