Littoral Combat Ship Construction
Abstract
The Littoral Combat Ship (LCS) will be a fast, agile, and networked surface combatant with capabilities optimized to defeat asymmetric threats, and assure naval and joint force access into contested littoral regions. The threats challenging our naval forces in the littorals include mines, attacks by small surface craft, and quiet diesel submarines armed with a variety of anti-ship weapons. Such threats have great potential to be effectively employed by many less capable countries and non-state actors to prevent access, and use, of littoral areas by U.S. forces. The LCS Program achieved Milestone A and Program Initiation in May 2004, and conducted a Milestone A update review in 2009. Milestone B is planned for third quarter 2010. The LCS construction phase includes the construction of two LCS Fight 0 Class Ships, one of each of two designs, and includes Government Furnished Equipment (GFE) for ships systems, Final System Design (FSD), Detail Design, introduction of final interface requirements for integration with mission packages from the Mission Systems and Ship Integration Team (MSSIT), and Outfitting and Post Delivery (OF/PD). USS FREEDOM (LCS 1) Basic Construction: 521.0 Change Orders: 0.5 GFE: 12.0 Other: 3.5 Total Cost*: 537.0 USS INDEPENDENCE (LCS 2) Basic Construction: 589.0 Change Orders: 3.5 GFE: 7.0 Other: 7.5 Total Cost*: 607.0 Non End Cost Item FSD/MSSIT 25.0(LCS1), 54.0(LCS2) Non End Cost Item OF/PD 94.0(LCS1), 75.0(LCS2) FSD/MSSIT costs for USS INDEPENDENCE and USS FREEDOM are not true construction costs and are costs associated with design completion. * Does not include OF/PD and early design costs
