Littoral Combat Ship
Abstract
The RDT&E portion of the LCS Program is comprised of design and development efforts required to deliver the Flight 0 Class Ships, including integration with modular MCM, ASW, and SUW mission packages, and construction of the first two Flight 0 Class Ships, the USS Freedom (LCS 1) delivered September 2008 and the USS Independence (LCS 2) delivered December 2009. It includes the design and development effort required to support the introduction and deployment of a Flight 0+ baseline for the ships awarded in FY09 with the incorporation of lessons learned from the design and construction of USS Freedom (LCS 1) and USS Independence (LCS 2), including improved waterjets and a waterjet tunnel extension on the Lockheed Martin (LM) LCS Design. Additionally, it includes design and development efforts required to support the design baseline for the six year block buy in FY10-15. This baseline will include lessons learned from the LCS 1 through LCS 4. The LCS design and development phases include platform design and development, experimentation and ship system design and integration, hull platform testing, development of a Technical Data Package (TDP), total ship system engineering and integration, and planning and conduct of system testing, including procurement of ordnance in support of testing. The R&D portion of LCS funding is also comprised of formal Developmental and Operational Assessment testing of the LCS Ships and Mission Packages. Test and Evaluation (T&E) will concentrate on verifying integration and interoperability of employed technologies and systems in the LCS seaframe designs and modular mission packages to achieve the mission capabilities and performance requirements as defined in the LCS Program's Flight 0 and Flight 0+ Capabilities Development Documents (CDD). T&E functions will include the evaluation of Critical Technical Parameters (CTP), Measures of Effectiveness (MOE), Measures of Suitability (MOS), and Key Performance Parameters (KPP) for the core seaframe and the focused missions.
