Description
Mission — LCS Mission Modules
The Littoral Combat Ship (LCS) Mission Modules (MM) Program Element (PE) provides funds for detailed design, development, issue resolution, certification, integration, and testing of the LCS MM. LCS is a fast, agile, and networked surface combatant with capabilities optimized to defeat asymmetric threats and ensure naval and joint force access into contested littoral regions. It uses open-systems architecture design, modular weapons, sensor systems, and a variety of manned and unmanned vehicles to expand the battle space and project offensive power into the littorals. The LCS MM Program employs an incremental development approach to deliver capability, which allows for insertion of mature capabilities throughout the life of the program without the need for modifications to the seaframes. Future capabilities will be considered when joint warfighting objectives or changing threats create new operational capability requirements that cannot be met by current mission package designs, or when new technological opportunities allow significant progress toward delivering cost effective, enhanced capabilities. Future mission module increments can be tested, constructed, and incorporated into existing mission packages, which is one of the most important benefits of LCS modular design. Mission Package funding is aligned into three (3) projects: 2550 Mine Countermeasures (MCM) Mission Package 2552 Surface Warfare (SUW) Mission Package 3129 LCS Mission Package Development MCM MP: Counters bottom, tethered, near surface, and surface mines in the littorals without putting sailors in the minefield. In FY25, the MCM MP will deploy to C5F, update and deliver various tactical and logistic documentation, commence development of MCM MPAS 4.0 software, modify the MCM MP to commence integration of Barracuda, development of the Near Surface Neutralization Module (NSN), and TBEC design upgrades and achieve Ready for Training (RFT). SUW MP: Increases firepower and offensive/defensive capabilities against large numbers of highly maneuverable, fast, small craft threats, giving LCS the ability to protect the sea lanes while moving a force quickly through a choke point or other strategic waterway, and to conduct maritime security missions. In FY24, the SUW MP will complete the efforts to revise the SSMM hatch and cover design. ASW MP: Enables the LCS to conduct detect-to-engage operations against modern submarines. In FY23, the ASW Mission Package was divested from the LCS Mission Modules program. C5I: Enabling products required by all MPs such as common hardware interfaces, computer operating environment (Mission Package Computing Environment (MPCE)), communications systems (Multi-Vehicle Communications System (MVCS)), aviation interface systems, UxV interfaces and Mission Package Portable Control Stations (MPPCS). MPCE provides common services and an Operating Environment to support all Mission Package Application Software (MPAS) and Open Architecture Products. MVCS enables the simultaneous control and data exchange between unmanned mission vehicles and the ship. Aviation interface systems include integration and management of data communications, data processing, and physical hardware interfaces such as common equipment and containers used by all mission packages. MPPCS provides a mobile operating environment installed in a 20ft ISO container and serves as a surrogate ship during mission package development and integration test events at test ranges. In FY24, project 3129 (LCS Mission Package Common Development) efforts include continuing MPCE v2.0 tech refresh development and initiation of MVCS v2.X tech refresh development.
Mission — Mine Countermeasure (MCM) Mission Package
The MCM Mission Package (MP) employs an incremental development approach to deliver capability which allows the continued insertion of mature capabilities throughout the life of the program without the need for modifications to the seaframes. The focus is to minimize service life extensions to both MCM-1 ships and the MH-53E helicopters. Future MCM MP capabilities will be considered when joint warfighting objectives or changing threats create new operational capability requirements that cannot be met by current mission package designs, or when new technological opportunities allow significant progress toward delivering cost effective enhanced capabilities. Future mission module increments can be tested, constructed, and incorporated into existing mission packages, one of the most important benefits of LCS modular design. MCM MP successfully completed IOT&E in Q4FY22 and achieved Initial Operational Capability (IOC) on 31MAR 2023. MCM MPs have begun to be fielded Q3FY24 and deployed in Q2FY25. The program has begun investigation into the feasibility of integrating the MCM MP on Vessels of Opportunity (VOO). In FY19 and FY20, the program demonstrated the flexibility of the modular MCM MP components by conducting a MCM Vessel of Opportunity (VOO) at-sea demonstration onboard the USS Hershel "Woody" Williams (T-ESB 4). The MCM MP will counter deep, shallow, and tethered mines in the littorals without putting sailors in the minefield. When the MCM MP is embarked, LCS is capable of conducting detect-to-engage operations (hunting, sweeping, and neutralization) against very shallow to deep-water sea mine threats and detect mines in the Beach Zone. The MCM MP provides these capabilities through the use of sensors and weapons deployed from an MH-60S multi-mission helicopter, unmanned offboard vehicles, and support equipment/containers. The MCM MP consists of the following modules: - Unmanned Minesweeping (UMS) Module: Unmanned Influence Sweeping System (UISS) (USV + Minesweeping Payload Delivery System (PDS)) - Airborne Mine Neutralization (AMN) Module: Airborne Mine Neutralization System (AMNS) + MH-60S helicopter - Near Surface Detection (NSD) Module: Airborne Laser Mine Detection System (ALMDS) + MH-60S helicopter - Coastal Mine Reconnaissance (CMR) Module: Coastal Battlefield Reconnaissance & Analysis (COBRA) + MQ-8 Fire Scout Vertical Take-off and Landing Tactical Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (VTUAV) - Remote Minehunting (RMH) Module: Unmanned Surface Vehicle (USV) + Minehunting PDS + AN/AQS-20 Minehunting Sonar - Near-surface Mine Neutralization (NSN) Module: Barracuda (Barracuda Neutralizer + USV + Mine Neutralization PDS)
Mission — Surface Warfare (SUW) Mission Package
The SUW MP increases firepower and offensive/defensive capabilities against large numbers of highly maneuverable, fast, small craft threats, giving LCS the ability to protect the sea lanes and move a force quickly through a choke point or other strategic waterway. The SUW MP is composed of several mission modules including the Gun Mission Module (GMM), the Aviation Module, the Maritime Security Module (MSM), and the Surface-to-Surface Missile Module (SSMM). The GMM is composed of two high velocity 30mm cannons which is augmented by the ship's resident 57mm gun to counter close in to mid-range threats. The Aviation Module uses the embarked MH-60R helicopter with Hellfire missile and the MQ-8B Fire Scout VTUAV for the detection, identification, and classification of surface contacts and to engage long range threats. The MSM supports the embarkation of a Visit, Board, Search, and Seizure (VBSS) team. The SSMM is a self-contained module consisting of 2 Missile Exhaust Containment Structures (MECS), integrated articulating hatch covers, a fire control system, and 12 two-rail MK 210 launchers to support load out and firing of 24 Longbow Hellfire missiles. SSMM provides missile coverage for mid-range threats and small boats.
Mission — LCS Mission Package Development
The LCS Mission Modules Common Equipment consists of the development and integration of vital C5I products required by all Mission Packages to provide common hardware interfaces, computer operating environment, communications systems, aviation interface systems, UxV interfaces and portable development & integration test-sets. Common hardware interfaces include definition, installation, and control of mechanical, electrical, and cooling requirements common to all mission packages. The Mission Package Computing Environment (MPCE) provides common services and Operating Environment to support all Mission Package Application Software (MPAS) and Open Architecture Products. The Multi-Vehicle Communications System (MVCS) enables the control and data exchange of simultaneous unmanned mission vehicles and the ship. Aviation interface systems include integration and management of data communications, data processing, and physical hardware interfaces such as common equipment and containers used by all mission packages. Development and integration test-sets provide a mobile operating environment installed in the Mission Package Portable Control Stations (MPPCSs) to serve as a surrogate ship during mission package development and integration test events at test ranges.

Follow the dollar
No follow-the-dollar view — this program's awards haven't been crosswalked at high confidence (flows cover 312 of 1,938 programs). why coverage is partial? →
Related awards
Award linkage is shown for 32 of 200 profiled companies — high- and medium-confidence USAspending matches, each row labeled; medium is the weaker evidence. why partial award coverage? →
Rows marked medium rest on evidence weaker than a program-level match, and of more than one kind. An account-based row, where the award drew from the same appropriation account as this program, is an association, not evidence that this program paid for the contract. Where the evidence is instead an FPDS acquisition-program tag or a subaward description, the program is established but which of its budget lines paid is not. An announcement link a recorded review did not leave standing is medium too. Only high rows rest on the contract naming this program with a recorded review upholding it and no recorded rejection or refutation applying.
| Recipient | PIID | Confidence |

Contractor concentration
No concentration index is published for this line. This line's high-confidence links do not clear the floor for a published concentration index — at least 3 awards across 2 contractor families holding positive obligations, with positive net linked dollars. An index below that floor is a fact about the sample, not about the market. Whatever further links this line carries are medium-confidence, and what each medium evidence path does and does not establish is set out in the methodology. Both bases are in the downloadable warehouse.
