Littoral Combat Ship
Abstract
The Littoral Combat Ship (LCS) 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, Surface Warfare (SUW) and Mine Countermeasures (MCM). LCS also possesses inherent capabilities, regardless of the Mission package installed, including intelligence/surveillance/reconnaissance (ISR), LCS SUW will also include 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. This PE also provides funds for the design, development, engineering, implementation, and testing of the combat system modifications for Lethality and Survivability (L&S) for both LCS variants (Independence and Freedom). The L&S upgrades include the development of a common Combat Management System (CMS) and integration and testing of government furnished systems including the Gun Weapon System (GWS), Electronic Warfare (EW) system and Decoy Launching System (DLS) for both LCS Class Variant ships.
