Reconfigurable single-mission focus
Mines; small fast surface craft; diesel submarines
Modular open systems architecture
Flexible system for dynamic battlespace
Advanced unmanned air, surface, and underwater vehicles
Onboard sensors, weapons, command and control
Naval and Joint Force multiplier
Operational flexibility for sea superiority and assured access
Integral member of future surface combatant family of ships
Fully netted with the battle force
Analysis validated small, fast delivery vehicle with integrated focused mission package 3 3

4. LCS Mission Modules System Description
Mission: The LCS MPs will provide the Combatant Commanders a modular, focused mission capability to provide assured access against littoral mine, submarine and surface threats. Mission Systems are incrementally added to the Mission Package (MP) as they reach a level of maturity necessary for fielding. These systems provide a warfighting capability that will be continuously improved through an evolutionary acquisition development process.
Description:
A MP consists of Mission Modules (MM) with Mission Crew and Support Aircraft. MMs combine Mission Systems (vehicles, sensors, weapons) and support equipment that install into the Seaframe via standard interfaces. Mission Systems = vehicles, sensors, or weapons. Mission Module = Mission Systems + Support equipment + Standard interfaces. Mission Package = Mission Modules + Mission Crew + Supporting Aircraft.
Platform:
Littoral Combat Ship
Employment:
LCS Mission Packages provide sufficient flexibility for the at-sea commander to successfully achieve assured access mission requirements. 4 4

Acquisition Risk – Medium
For first MCM MP, there are more PoRs than any other MP. About half of these systems have passed MS C, and those systems are working well. Risk is related to schedule + scope with this new integration concept + reaction to Seaframe challenges (sked/funding)
OAMCM: Challenging so far…ALMDS / AMNS testing driven by MH-60S test A/C (“orange wire”) availability. This contributes to our high end of medium.
> Training of Fleet pilots on new OAMCM equipt follows OAMCM flight cert T&E
1st Mission Package delivery in 4th Qtr FY07
MCM USSV delivers in !st Qtr 08 FY08
MP Software integration culminating in Summer 2007
Technical Risk – Medium
Integrating multiple PoR systems into one integrated package
OAMCM a good example
Phasing Mission Systems into Mission Package (as they mature)
Program of Record systems meet TRL 7+
EDM systems to meet TRL 6+

30mm Gun Mission Module
Technical Risk: Medium
Navy may need to pursue unique design modifications to meet restrained firing requirement.
“Potential” for Seaframe Interface Impacts for NLOS-LS.
30mm Gun System currently Integrated on LPD 17 (differently). 30mm ammo is qualified.
C2 relying on Seaframe and offboard vehicle sensors for detect and track + CIC “situational awareness”. Many people underestimate the C2 challenge with small boat swarm raid C2.
Acquisition Risk: Medium
We are “follower” to Army. 20:1 leverage = double edged sword;
Navy could not afford develop this missile capability on our own; GREAT deal for Navy
Army operational needs / technical trade-offs dominate
Cost increase for NLOS-LS system design changes to meet Navy requirements after SDD contract expires FY10.
Gun Competitive procurement process for SUW MP #3 may not meet current SUW MP delivery schedule.
Government development for C2 software leveraging existing Navy applications (e.g. Mk 160 GWS).
Yellow border designates systems we are sponsoring for tech transition to become a PoR. Though 30mm is on LPD-17, it is in different configuration + is being procured as part of shipbuilding program, not through PEO IWS 3C.
