The Littoral Combat Ship

The Littoral Combat Ship (LCS) is a key element of the Navy's plan to address asymmetric threats. Intended to operate in coastal areas of the globe, the ship will be fast, highly maneuverable and geared to supporting mine detection/elimination, anti-submarine warfare and surface warfare, particularly against small surface craft.

The General Dynamics Solution
The General Dynamics approach to the LCS involves three key elements:
  1. Availability:Designed to optimize the range of maneuverable sea conditions, allowing the U.S. Navy to go further, quicker
  2. Open Architecture:Flexible mission systems for quick upgrades and lower costs
  3. Growth Margin:Tailorable for future missions, whatever the U.S. Navy finds it needs
