Versatile: Maximum Combat Power and Agility for the 21st Century

The General Dynamics Multi-Mission Combatant is a flexible, shallow-draft, high-speed ship capable of conducting simultaneous missions that are required by today’s global naval forces. A variant of the U.S. Littoral Combat Ship, the Multi-Mission Combatant features an innovative trimaran hull form that provides outstanding stability, volume and sea keeping; a flight deck that is nearly three times the size of any other surface combatant; and a mission system that is built upon an open architecture computing environment.
