(U)LX (R)

Abstract

The FY 2019 funding request was reduced by $0.012 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. 2474 - LX(R) is expected to functionally replace LSD-41 Class ships and LSD-49 Class ships for embark, transport, control, insert, sustainment, and extract of Marine Air-Ground Task Force elements and supporting forces by helicopters, landing craft, and amphibious vehicles. Efforts are required to identify viable alternatives, including examining a reduced cost variant of LPD-17 Class. Efforts include Gate and Milestone (MS) reviews/documentation, Capability Development Document (CDD), Indicative/Preliminary/Contract Design (ID/PD/CD), and development of logistics and Test & Evaluation documentation. Program is on track to support FY26 retirement of LSDs. FY12-FY14 LX(R) efforts previously budgeted in PE 0603564N.
