The LMMP-CD-4M (Light Mobile Modular Platform, Coastal Defense, Type 4 Missile Platform) is a lightweight, truck-mounted coastal defense system developed by Metallic Defense Systems in 1980. Designed to provide rapid, mobile anti-ship and coastal strike capability, the platform emphasizes flexibility, concealment, and fast redeployment along shorelines and critical maritime approaches.

The LMMP-CD-4M is operated by a two-person crew, consisting of a driver and a missile operator. The vehicle integrates an onboard targeting radar system, allowing it to detect, track, and guide missiles toward maritime or coastal targets with minimal external support. Its modular design enables it to function as part of dispersed defense networks, reducing vulnerability to counterstrikes.

Originally requested in 1980 as a coastal defense solution, the LMMP-CD-4M was intended to bolster mobile missile coverage in contested littoral zones. While its production timeline remains to be determined, the platform reflects an emphasis on mobile missile systems capable of operating independently or in coordination with larger defense infrastructures.
