Littoral Combat Ship (LCS)
Abstract
A. MISSION DESCRIPTION: This Program Element (PE) provides funds for detailed design, development, construction, integration and testing of the Littoral Combat Ship (LCS). LCS will be a fast, agile, and networked surface combatant with capabilities optimized to defeat asymmetric threats, and assure naval and joint force access into contested littoral regions. It will use open-systems-architecture design, modular weapons, and sensor systems, and a variety of manned and unmanned vehicles to expand the battle space and project offensive power into the littoral. LCS will operate with focused-mission packages that deploy manned and unmanned vehicles to execute a variety of missions, including littoral anti-submarine warfare (ASW), anti-surface warfare (SUW) and mine countermeasures (MCM). LCS will also possess inherent capabilities, regardless of mission package installed, including intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance (ISR), homeland defense, Maritime Interdiction/Interception Operations (MIO), anti-terrorism/force protection (AT/FP), air self-defense, joint littoral mobility, and Special Operating Forces (SOF) and logistic support for movement of personnel and supplies. This relatively small, high-speed surface combatant will complement the U.S. Navy's AEGIS Fleet and DDG 1000 by operating in environments where it is less desirable to employ larger, multi-mission ships. LCS will have the capability to deploy independently to overseas littoral regions, remain on station for extended periods of time either with a battle group or through a forward-basing arrangement and will be capable of underway replenishment. LCS will operate with Carrier Strike Groups, Surface Action Groups, in groups of other similar ships, or independently for diplomatic and presence missions. Additionally, LCS will have the capability to operate cooperatively with the U.S. Coast Guard and Allies.
