L3Harris Technologies has unveiled a new pair of launched effects vehicles aimed at expanding the U.S. military’s options for precision strike and electronic warfare across domains.
Announced on 17 July, the Red Wolf and Green Wolf systems mark the beginning of what the company describes as a broader family of multi-role munitions.
Red Wolf is a kinetic long-range strike platform, while Green Wolf is configured for electronic warfare tasks, including electronic attack and the ability to detect, identify, locate and report signals. Both are designed to operate from air, ground or maritime platforms and support in-flight retargeting, collaboration between vehicles and swarming operations.
According to L3Harris, the two systems are modular and software-defined, which allows for integration of new payloads and updates without redesigning the hardware. The company claims to have conducted over 40 test flights and plans to move into low-rate initial production by the end of 2025.
The wait is over.

L3Harris say that the ‘Wolf’ vehicles are designed to be adaptable across services and roles, but there has been no official U.S. Department of Defense endorsement or procurement announcement so far.
The unveiling comes amid heightened Pentagon interest in affordable, networked munitions that can operate in contested environments and reduce dependence on more expensive, traditional platforms. Whether Red Wolf and Green Wolf will find a role in existing U.S. concepts like the U.S. Air Force’s Collaborative Combat Aircraft or the U.S. Army’s launched effects initiatives remains to be seen.
The US has a staggering amount of cheap ‘cruise’ missiles coming online this year from all sorts of different manufactures- air force docs say they’re getting 3000 under the FAMM program this year alone.
