Littoral Combat Ship (LCS)
Abstract
This Program Element (PE) provides funds for detailed design, development, construction, integration, and testing of the Littoral Combat Ship (LCS). LCS is 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 uses 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 operates with focused-mission packages that deploy manned and unmanned vehicles to execute a variety of missions, including littoral anti-submarine warfare (ASW), surface warfare (SUW) and mine countermeasures (MCM). LCS also possesses inherent capabilities, regardless of the 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, Special Operating Forces (SOF), and logistic support for movement of personnel and supplies. This relatively small, high-speed surface combatant complements the U.S. Navy's Surface Fleet by operating in environments where it is less desirable to employ larger, multi-mission ships. LCS can 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 is 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 can operate cooperatively with the U.S. Coast Guard and Allies.
