A Flexible, Innovative Warship

To meet changing warfare needs, the Lockheed Martin design incorporates large reconfigurable paces, an integrated launch, recovery and handling system, a large flight deck certified to Level I Class I and mission flexibility through rapid change-out of mission modules and support equipment. Our semi-planing monohull combines exceptional speed (>47 knots), payload and range to provide flexibiility in executing the full spectrum of LCS missions. Optimized for watercraft launch and recovery, our design includes stern and side launch apability near the waterline and an integrated command and control system to support mission module operation.

Our design also integrates non-developmental sensors and weapons systems, providing proven technologies for combat power and mission flexibility, as well as a robust, layered self-defense system. Our solution offers a flexible, survivable warship for littoral operations with inherent margin for capability growth.
