LX (R)

Abstract

LPD 17 Flight II will 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. Cost reduction and affordability efforts are required to continue pursuing affordability initiatives. This program element includes the planning & documentation for Live Fire Test & Evaluation (LFT&E), Developmental Test and Evaluation (DT&E) and Follow-on Operational Test and Evaluation (FOT&E) tests required for LPD 17 Flight II. LPD 28 and LPD 29 will be used to conduct these test events as they incorporate LPD Flight II changes prior to the first Flight II Ship, LPD 30. LPD FLT II were planned to replace remaining LSD ships as the ships are eventually removed from service and decommissioned. The LSD's will reach end of service life (ESL) in FY28. The FY 2018 Defense Appropriations Act authorized the procurement of LPD 30. Per signed Acquisition Decision Memorandum, LPD 17 Flight II will meet the Capabilities Development Document for LX(R) and shall subsume all previous LX(R) efforts.
