With the fate of the Non-Line of Sight Launch System (NLOS-LS) still undecided, Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., is requesting more information from the Army on its recommendation to Pentagon acquisition chief Ashton Carter.

“I understand that the Army has forwarded a recommendation to the undersecretary of defense for acquisition, technology and logistics, for its upcoming decision on whether or not to continue the Non-Line of Sight Launch System program,” McCain wrote in an April 30 letter to Army Secretary John McHugh. “As such, I request the Army provide the committee with its written recommendation to Dr. Carter, as well as any supporting materials provided to justify the recommendation.”

McCain is the top-ranking Republican member of the Senate Armed Services Committee.

Army spokesman Jimmie Cummings said the service had not yet formally notified Carter of its recommendation for NLOS-LS.

Sources have said that Army senior leaders have completed a review of the service’s precision fires portfolio, and decided April 22 to recommend the Pentagon cancel the program.
