(U)LCS Mission Modules

Abstract

This Program Element (PE) provides funds for detailed design, development, issue resolution, certification, integration, and testing of the Littoral Combat Ship (LCS) Mission Modules (MM). LCS is a fast, agile, and networked surface combatant with capabilities optimized to defeat asymmetric threats, and ensure naval and joint force access into contested littoral regions. It uses open-systems architecture design, modular weapons, sensor systems, and a variety of manned and unmanned vehicles to expand the battle space and project offensive power into the littoral. The LCS MMs provide tailored warfighting capability for one at a time of the three focused mission areas: MCM - Provides capability to conduct minehunting (detection, localization, classification, identification, and neutralization) and mine sweeping operations for mine threats. SUW - provides capability to conduct enhanced-range coordinated detection, tracking, classification, identification, and neutralization of groups of attacking, multiple, small boat threats, and to conduct maritime security missions. ASW - provides capability to detect, classify, localize, and prosecute enemy submarines; counter diesel submarine threats in the littoral shallow waters and their associated deep water approaches; and to provide an escort capability for forces transiting through submarine threat areas.
