The Navy plans to launch two small boat attack craft raids against its Littoral Combat Ship to prepare the ship for major warfare by testing a new suite of integrated weapons systems and sensors - including missiles, guns, drones and inflatable boats.
The upcoming “fast inshore attack craft raid†events are intended as part of a formal Initial Operational Test & Evaluation plan for an-LCS mounted Surface-to-Surface Missile Module designed, among other things, to “counter potential swarms of attacked armed small craft,†a Navy statement from Naval Sea Systems Command, Program Executive Office Unmanned and Small Combatants said.
