Lockheed Martin Freedom class LCS Lethality & Survivability and Large Unmanned Surface Vehicle LUSV

The Naval Sea Systems Command Program Executive Office Integrated Warfare System has issued a request for proposal for the Littoral Combat Ship (LCS) and the Large Unmanned Surface Vehicle (LUSV).
LCS with Lethality and Survivability Upgrades.
LCS Littoral Combat Ship are set to give new features to help the U.S. Navy outpace adversary threats.
Features like next generation electronic warfare capabilities via the Surface Electronic Warfare Improvement Program , an integrated shipboard combat system, over-the-horizon capability via the Naval Strike Missile or Nulka, a rapid response active expendable decoy system that would give the LCS a more effective way to respond to anti-ship missiles and increase commonality across the fleet.
At last year’s SNA 2019, Lockheed Martin unveiled a scale model dubbed “LCS with Lethality and Survivability Upgrades”. This scale model featured a number systems never seen before on a Freedom type Littoral Combat Ship, including four Nulka decoy launchers, eight NSM anti-ship missile launchers, two SEWIP Block 3 jamming modules and eight Mk41 vertical launching systems in their “strike length” variant.
