Ship Systems / C4I / Warfare Systems Engineering

Abstract

The Frigate (FF) was a multi-mission ship that will leverage the existing Littoral Combat Ship (LCS) designs, and focuses on anti-surface warfare and anti-submarine warfare capabilities (SUW/ASW). The modifications from LCS included over-the-horizon (OTH) surface-to-surface missile system, upgraded Air Defense weapons and sensors, advanced electronic warfare system and improved decoys, and all elements of the SUW and ASW mission packages (horizon surface-to-surface missile system, 30mm guns, variable depth sonar, towed array and torpedo defense). FFG(X) will further add local air defense and survivability features.
