Littoral Combat Ships are primed to deliver important impact in global security efforts but have not yet been used to their fullest potential. With manned and unmanned aviation, the LCS can deliver new levels of lethality and competitive advantage. This discussion will bring together representatives from industry, the Fleet, and the requirements offices to discuss lessons learned from the past decade of the LCS program and what the greatest opportunities are moving forward. This integrated view will discuss the how the LCS can maximize capabilities of existing aviation assets and how manned and unmanned aviation can optimize the afloat operations of the LCS class in the future.
