8 Capturing the Lessons: At-Sea Experimentation FY04 FY05 FY06 FY07 FY08 HSV(X)-1 / TSV / System Demos HSV-2 X Craft Before Flight 1 Construction Start: Flight 1 Concept Studies / Preliminary Design Begin Flight 1 DD & Construction Begin Flight 1 Final Design 12+ ship years of at-sea experimentation + International exchange / cooperation Advanced Hull Forms and Construction Distributed, Networked Warfare Operations Unmanned Vehicle Operations Human Factors Risk reduction enabled by a combination of experimentation and testing

9 Why LCS Experimentation? Experimentation is key for risk mitigation for LCS Aggressive timeline for Flight 0 Seaframe and Mission Package Alpha fielding Hard CAIV targets for Seaframe and Mission Packages LCS Experimentation Plan includes LCS Program-funded efforts and multiple other events

10 LCS Experimentation Strategy Leverage surrogate platforms like HSV-2 and Sea Fighter (X-craft) Leverage already scheduled Fleet Battle Experiments and Limited Objective Experiments Coordinate with the Sea Trials process and with CFFC and NWDC Teamed with NWDC and NSWC-Panama City for execution Key factors: FY04/5/6 availability of HSV 2, FY05+ availability of X-craft FY07 delivery of first LCS Seaframes and Mission Packages FY05 availability of first LCS crewmembers

11 Four Categories of LCS Experimentation Separately funded surrogate vehicle, system and technology experimentation/testing HSV 2 Sea Fighter (X-Craft) TSV-1, Triton, etc. POR DT/OT/certifications (57mm gun, OA, MH-60S, etc.) Developmental/related efforts (ICWS, Marine Mammals experiment on HSV 2, etc.) Seaframe maturation & risk reduction by LCS Industry Teams Lockheed Martin / General Dynamics Largely focused on core systems development & integration FY05/06/07 Seaframe Industry Teams have design integration facilities Funded by Industry: competition sensitive

12 Four Categories of LCS Experimentation Mission Package maturation and risk reduction by PMS-420 Maturation Plans developed for each package Focused on Technology Readiness Level (TRL) maturation Leveraging POR testing (AN/WLD-1 RMS, MH-60R, ADS, etc) Leveraging developmental testing (SPARTAN, Sea Talon and JUSC2 ACTDs, ONR s BPAUV, etc.) Mission Package integration lab NSWC Panama City Risk Mitigation and Integration experimentation funded by PMS- 501 Risk mitigation for Seaframe to Mission Package integration, H.S.I./Human Performance, and key mission package risks
