LCS Mission Modules
Abstract
The Littoral Combat Ship (LCS) Mission Modules (MM) Program Element (PE) provides funds for detailed design, development, issue resolution, certification, integration, and testing of the LCS 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 littorals. The LCS MM Program employs an incremental development approach to deliver capability, which allows for insertion of mature capabilities throughout the life of the program without the need for modifications to the seaframes. Future capabilities will be considered when joint warfighting objectives or changing threats create new operational capability requirements that cannot be met by current mission package designs, or when new technological opportunities allow significant progress toward delivering cost effective, enhanced capabilities. Future mission module increments can be tested, constructed, and incorporated into existing mission packages, which is one of the most important benefits of LCS modular design. Beginning in FY 2019, Mission Package funding is realigned into four (4) projects: 2550 Mine Countermeasures (MCM) Mission Package 2551 Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW) Mission Package 2552 Surface Warfare (SUW) Mission Package 3129 LCS Mission Package Development Prior to FY 2019 all Mission Package funding was in Project 3129. MCM MP: Counters bottom, tethered, near surface, and surface mines in the littorals without putting sailors in the minefield. SUW MP: Increases firepower and offensive/defensive capabilities against large numbers of highly maneuverable, fast, small craft threats, giving LCS the ability to protect the sea lanes while moving a force quickly through a choke point or other strategic waterway, and to conduct maritime security missions. ASW MP: Enables the LCS to conduct detect-to-engage operations against modern submarines. C5I: Enabling products required by all MPs such as common hardware interfaces, computer operating environment (Mission Package Computing Environment (MPCE)), communications systems (Multi-Vehicle Communications System (MVCS)), aviation interface systems, and Mission Package Portable Control Stations (MPPCS). MPCE provides common services and an Operating Environment to support all Mission Package Application Software (MPAS) and Open Architecture Products. MVCS enables the simultaneous control and data exchange between unmanned mission vehicles and the ship. Aviation interface systems include integration and management of data communications, data processing, and physical hardware interfaces such as common equipment and containers used by all mission packages. MPPCS provides a mobile operating environment installed in a 20ft ISO container and serves as a surrogate ship during mission package development and integration test events at test ranges.

- Change Summary Explanation
- In FY 2022, the MCM MP completes formal testing on Independence variant and achieves IOC, initiates formal testing on Freedom variant, and continues integration and testing on Vessels Of Opportunity (VOO). The ASW MP completes development of ACB/TI 20.19L, initiates tech refresh development of ACB/TI 24.23L, completes testing on Independence variant, and prepares to certify the ASW MP for operational use and deployment. The SUW MP will complete all developmental efforts and transition to sustainment in FY 2021. In FY 2022, project 3129 (LCS Mission Package Common Development) efforts include continuing MPCE v2.0 tech refresh development and initiation of MVCS v1.3 tech refresh development. FY 2020 -$3.093M SBIR FY 2021 +$10.000M ASW Congressional Add FY 2022 +$3.269M VOO Integration, +$4.713M MCM MP Wholeness, +$14.987M MCM MP T&E and -$1.306M Misc adjustments
