What project 3096 buys

Initial design and development efforts required to field LCS Class Ships with contractor furnished equipment is complete and tasking is removed from this section. This budget provides funds for the design, development, engineering, implementation, and testing of the combat system modifications for Lethality and Survivability (L&S) for both LCS variants (Independence and Freedom). The L&S upgrades include the development of a common Combat Management System (CMS) the Atalanta Weapon System (AtWS) and integration and testing of government furnished systems including the Gun Weapon System (GWS), Electronic Warfare (EW) system, and Decoy Launching System (DLS), and Navigation systems for the LCS Independence Class Variant ships. LCS CMS integration with Over The Horizon (OTH) targeting enable LCS to take advantage of full range capability of Naval Strike Missile (NSM). Follow on AtWS software (SW) development will incorporate corrections based on observations during shipboard testing and incremental capability increases to L&S ships.

Inside the project

1 accomplishment / planned program

The R-2A exhibit — the only level of the budget that describes work that has not happened yet. Activities carry the prior, current and budget year only, no five-year plan. Each describes FY2027 work in enough detail to have its own page; the rest are shown here in full. Coverage is partial across the corpus, so count activities, never total them.

Named performers on project 3096

Performers named in the R-3 exhibit under this project. Share is of the project's whole FY2027 R-3 total — the same denominator the program-element split uses, so the two read on one scale and will not sum to 100% when unnamed or government work is in the mix. Budget-justification contract funding, not obligations.
