LCS的三名入選佳麗

LCS field reduced to three

By Nick Brown with additional reporting by Kim Burger

Industry teams led by General Dynamics Bath Iron Works (BIW), Lockheed Martin Naval Electronic & Surveillance Systems (NE&SS;) and Raytheon Integrated Defense Systems have been selected to compete for the preliminary design phase of the US Navys (USNs) fast-track Littoral Combat Ship (LCS) programme, Naval Sea Systems Command announced on 17 July 2003.

The down-selection means that rival teams headed by EDO/Textron, Northrop Grumman and Titan Systems have now been eliminated from the competition.

The LCS is intended to be a small networked surface combatant, combining an advanced high-speed platform - or seaframe - with modularised payloads to prosecute mine warfare and littoral anti-submarine warfare, and to counter small-boat swarm threats. The USN is looking to accept the first operational vessel in 2007.

All three teams have been awarded nearly US$10 million apiece to carry out Flight 0 preliminary design activities. Following submission of preliminary design proposals in January 2004, the field will be further trimmed to two teams, which will each be funded into prototype build.

Each bidder is proposing a radically different advanced hullform as the basis for its seaframe. BIW and its team-mates Austal Ships, BAE Systems, CAE, Maritime Applied Physics and QinetiQ have proposed a semi-trimaran hull based on Austals high-speed commercial trimaran. The team claims that this is the best configuration to meet the USNs exacting demands for a vessel capable of speeds of over 50kt and with a large payload capacity to cover the range of modular packages.

Lockheed Martin NE&SS;, together with naval architect Gibbs & Cox and shipbuilders Bollinger and Marinette Marine, is proposing the Sea Blade advanced semi-planing monohull, an aluminium vessel based on the commercial ferry design that currently holds the transatlantic crossing record.

Raytheon and its partners Umoe Mandal, engineering and ship-designer John J McMullen Associates, Atlantic Marine shipyard and composite design and fabrication specialist Goodrich are proposing a surface-effect ship (SES) seaframe. This is likely to be based on a scaled-up version of Umoe Mandals Skjold SES design, which has already demonstrated a top speed of 57kt in service with the Royal Norwegian Navy.
