To Be Announced

The Littoral Combat Ships

• Modular open systems architecture – Flexible system for dynamic battle space – Advanced unmanned air, surface, and underwater

vehicles – Onboard sensors, weapons, command & control – Mission modules interchangeable – Maximizing interchangeable components within

modules • Optimized for warfighting in the littoral

– Unique designs for unique environment – Fast, maneuverable, shallow draft

• Targeted at critical capability gaps – Reconfigurable single mission focus – Mines, small fast surface craft, diesel submarines

• Joint Force multiplier – Fully networked with battle force

Other Sources of Ship and Mission Package Essentials

• PEO Integrated Warfare Systems (IWS) – Sensors, systems, algorithms for Ships, ASW, SUW – IWS 8.0 dedicated to LCS combat systems

• Naval Aviation Systems Command (NAVAIR) – MH-60R Seahawk multi-mission helicopter – MQ-8B Fire Scout unmanned vertical take-off aerial vehicle – Crews for helicopter and operators for Fire Scout – Used for ASW and MCM Mission Packages

• Naval Space and Warfare Systems Command (SPAWAR) – Supports ship / off-board vehicle communication

7

Mine Warfare Beyond the Mission Package

• MCM Avenger Ship Class Combat System Modernization Program

• In-service MCM equipment for MH-53E Airborne Mine Countermeasure Systems

• Mines program – Quickstrike air-delivered bottom mines – Exercise and training mine shapes

Modified Littoral Combat Ships Frigates

• Modified Littoral Combat Ships (Small Surface Combatants ) to be multi-mission focused with expanded SUW and ASW capabilities

• Will be based upon existing LCS designs modified to incorporate additional capabilities

• Will retain certain aspects of modularity but maintain a baseline of surface and subsurface warfare capabilities

• Will provide lethality, survivability, and multi-mission capabilities in accordance with fleet priorities

• Requirements based on estimated theater threat environment for the 2025 timeframe

• Will fulfill the remaining 20 ships of the Navy’s 52 small surface combatant requirement

The Warfare Center Connection

• PEO LCS S&T linked closely to the NAVSEA Warfare Center Enterprise

• Mission Area Leads from four divisions on S&T staff – Ship/Multi-mission (NSWC Carderock)

• Also Lead for Strategic Coordination – MIW (NSWC Panama City)

• Also supports PMS495 Technical Director

– SUW (NSWC Dahlgren) – ASW (NUWC Newport)

• Deputy S&T Director from Warfare Center – Present Deputy (NUWC Newport) – Incoming Deputy (NSWC Philadelphia)

• Support smart S&T investment decisions to meet operational needs, regardless of the technology source

13

Key S&T Objectives

• Keep the venues strong – SBIR, RIF, TIPS: Our near and mid-term bread and

butter – FNCs: Our long-term meat and potatoes – Refine Rapid Technology Insertion contracting process

• Use Strategic Analysis as the backbone for smart decisions – Threat analysis – Gap analysis across the kill chain – Technology analysis (cost/performance over life cycle) – Transition analysis

• Work closely with ONR, DARPA, and industry • Establish “good transition partner” reputation
