(U)LITTORAL COMBAT SHIP

Abstract

The FY 2019 funding request was reduced by $3.154 million to account for the availability of prior year execution balances. The FY 2019 funding request was reduced by $0.267 million to reflect the Department of Navy's effort to support the Office of Management and Budget directed reforms for Efficiency and Effectiveness that include a lean, accountable, more efficient government. This Program Element (PE) provides funds for detailed design, development, construction, issue resolution, certification, integration, and testing of the Littoral Combat Ship (LCS). LCS operates with focused-mission packages that deploy manned and unmanned vehicles to execute a variety of missions, including 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), maritime interdiction/interception operations (MIO), anti-terrorism/force protection (AT/FP), air warfare self-defense, joint littoral mobility, and logistic support for movement of personnel and supplies. This relatively small, shallow-draft, high-speed surface combatant complements the U.S. Navy's Surface Fleet by operating in environments where it is impossible or undesirable to employ larger, deeper-draft, multi-mission ships. LCS can deploy independently to overseas littoral regions or remain on station for extended periods of time either with a battle group or through a forward-basing arrangement. LCS will operate with Carrier Strike Groups, Surface Action Groups, or independently as dictated by the mission and environment. Additionally, LCS can operate cooperatively with the U.S. Coast Guard and Allies.
