The vertical scale does not start at zero: the baseline sits just below this program’s smallest year, so a low point on this line is not a small amount. Read the shape for direction and the grid below for the figures.
● actuals (line) · ○ enacted · ◇ request — gaps are editions the program is absent from, never interpolated.
| Series | FY22 | FY23 | FY24 | FY25 |

| Actuals | $44.9M | $77.1M | $23.0M | |
| Enacted | – | $67.8M | – | $48.0M |

blank = series not published for this year; – = absent from that edition.
Asked vs spent: the PB2024 book requested $0 for FY2024; the PB2026 book reported $23.0M as actual total obligation authority — $23.0M above the request. 23.0 − 0.0 = 23.0 USD millions — the compact figures above are rounded for reading.

Description
Description — Littoral Combat Ship (LCS)
Provides for the design, construction, integration, and testing of the Littoral Combat Ship (LCS) including ordnance, government furnished equipment (GFE), plans and change order costs. LCS deploys focused-mission packages to execute surface warfare (SUW) and mine countermeasures (MCM) operations. LCS also possesses inherent capabilities, regardless of the mission package installed, including intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR), anti-terrorism/force protection (AT/FP), air warfare self-defense, joint littoral mobility, and logistic support for movement of personnel and supplies. LCS SUW ships will also include maritime interdiction/interception operations (MIO). LCS MCM ships will incorporate unmanned vehicles to conduct mine hunting and mine sweeping missions. This relatively small, shallow-draft, high-speed surface combatant complements the U.S. Navy's Surface Fleet by operating in environments where it is impossible or undesirable to employ larger deeper-draft, multi-mission ships. LCS can deploy independently to overseas littoral regions or remain on station for extended periods of time either with a battle group or through a forward-basing arrangement. LCS will operate with Carrier Strike Groups, Surface Action Groups, or independently as dictated by the mission and environment. Additionally, LCS can operate cooperatively with the U.S. Coast Guard and Allies.

Follow the dollar

Follow-the-dollar covers 312 of 1,938 programs — only high-confidence budget→award links are shown. why coverage is partial? →
The diagram illustrates the cited table below — amounts shown in the diagram are transaction sums per award (no citation chips); the per-district obligations in the table cite USAspending queries.
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.

Contractor concentration
High-confidence award links only, pooled across ingested years. The index uses positive obligations; program obligations are net of deobligations. The figures over every published link, including medium-confidence ones, are in the downloadable warehouse, not on this page — why.
Lobbying mentions
No Senate LDA lobbying filing in the tracked data mentions this program element by code or alias.
Oversight
Department-level designation (not specific to this program)
GAO lists 5 high-risk areas for DOD as a whole. That designation covers the department, not Littoral Combat Ship. No program-specific GAO finding for this line is in the ingested data. See the DOD oversight record.
Program dossier
No research dossier for this program — dossiers cover 50 of 1,938 programs, the largest fully J-book-detailed lines by FY2026 requested dollars. why no dossier here? →
