  1. Modular Approach • LCS Seaframe modular in architecture • Enables multiple “focused” missions to be accomplished with use of modular mission packages • Primary, secondary & possible future missions • Separate acquisition from core Seaframe • Common core mission and HM&E systems and adapters to support multiple modules • Enables ability to reconfigure, refocus, and adapt • Integration via standard interfaces (technical architecture) developed to support current and future technologies

  2. LCS Vision Reconfigurable Mission Systems Standard Interfaces Seaframe Zones C4 Air Air Sea Sea C4

  3. Core Systems and Mission Packages + = CORE SYSTEMS • Self Defense • Navigation • C4 • Mine Avoidance • Torpedo Detection & Avoidance • Warning Shots • Detect, ID, & Track Surface Contacts • Limited ISR • Core Crew MISSION PACKAGE • Modules • Manned Aircraft • UVs • Offboard Sensors • Mission Crew = + FOCUSED MISSION

  4. Module / Seaframe Interface Concept Seaframe Zone Systems Modules Module Module Station Module Station Module Station Module Common resource stations/ panels for services connection Module PackUp Kits, etc

  5. Required Capabilities: Determined Mission Package Development & Modules Process to Select and Validate Mission Packages for Each Warfare Area (MIW, ASW, SUW) Littoral Gaps: Quantified Mission Profiles: Identified Spectrum of Modularity “Tightly coupled” Zones and Modules Module Box Mission Modules: Selected Wargaming / Analysis: Validation Large Mission Bay Zone with Greater Tolerances

Jerry LaCamera, Jr. Adrian Eversoll SPAWAR SSC Dorrance / Chagnon DeepwaterSteve Cohen Richard Oropeza Goal: Develop a LCS Technical Architecture (Seaframe to Mission Module ICD) sufficiently “open” to insure mission reconfigurability and lifecycle technology adaptability

  10. Mission Module Contracting Approach • Separate from Seaframe contracts • PEO(LMW) lead • Direct mission module development and coordination • Develop contracts • Manages funds • Schedule development of each module to suit overall mission module schedule • PEO Ships • Overall Program Management\ • Ship integration of mission modules • Coordinate overall budgeting • Implement acquisition strategy

  11. Summary • U.S. Navy is Committed to a Littoral Combatant to Address Anti-Access Threats in the Littorals

  23. Technology Management • Based on CONOPS, conducted targeted Technology surveillance • PEO’s and Naval War College • Numerous offsites for technology “harvesting” • Ongoing • Evaluation of possible candidates for LCS Mission Architecture • Facilitated by LCS Mission Systems and Ship Integration IPT (MSSIT) • Fed to analysis efforts as inputs for possible core Seaframe and Mission Modules

  24. Offsites: LCS Flight 0Mission Package Selection • Need to make rapid programming decisions supporting Mission Packages for Flight 0 due to programming cycle and aggressive LCS schedule (FY07 ship 1 delivery) • A Mission Module “Offsite” analysis process conducted • Over course of 5 months, over 150 total participants • COMNAVSURFOR, CFFC, NWDC, Fleet, resource sponsor, technical community participants • Numerous studies as input, including: • CONOPS • Technology Management study • NSWC DD Analysis of Multiple Concepts • SPA Mission Analysis • Necked down approximately 1000 systems to ~30 • Culminating in Mission Module Offsite #3 • Focused on Mission Package capability definition
