Littoral Combat Ship Mission Modules (LCS MM)

The Littoral Combat Ship LCS is a fast, agile, and networked surface combatant optimized for operations close to shore, otherwise known as the littorals. The LCS Mission Modules MM provide a modular, focused mission capability to the Combatant Commanders to provide assured access against littoral threats. The primary missions for the LCS include countering littoral mine, submarine, and surface threats to assure maritime access for Joint Forces. The underlying strength of the LCS lies in its innovative design approach and the application of modularity for operational flexibility. Fundamental to this approach is the capability to rapidly install interchangeable mission packages onto the ship.
