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. This project includes efforts to reduce the cost of building and repairing ships, resolving obsolescence issues, and improving shipbuilding industry productivity through: advanced technology and processes with emphasis towards developing ship hull, mechanical, propulsion, electrical, aviation, warfare system, combat support system, sub-systems and components to maintain manpower, survivability, operational capabilities, and pursue affordability initiatives. This program element includes the planning & documentation for Developmental Test and Evaluation (DT&E), Live Fire Test & Evaluation (LFT&E), Operational Evaluation (OPEVAL), and Follow-on Operational Test and Evaluation (FOT&E) tests required for LPD 17 Flight II. These test events will be conducted on the lead Flight II Ship (LPD 30) or where configuration supports capabilities on earlier ships (LPD 28 or LPD 29). 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. Name change endorsed in JROCM 093-21, from "Amphibious Ship Replacement LX(R)" to "LPD 17 San Antonio Class Amphibious Transport Dock FLT II." LPD 30 is the first ship of LPD 17 Flight II.

Change Summary Explanation
Funding Change: The FY 2025 funding request was decreased from FY24 to FY25 due to planned operational test events in FY24, and the completion of first in class non-recurring engineering and common rail modification development of the engineering control system (ECS). Program Schedule Changes (0604454N / PU 2474): The previously reported Development Test and Evaluation Phase schedule was incorrectly displayed. The schedule has been updated to correctly reflect the program's DT&E phase. Program Schedule Changes (LI 3010): LPD 32 delivery date reflects negotiated contract timeline.
