SULU SEA (Feb. 20, 2017) An MQ-8B Fire Scout unmanned helicopter prepares to land onboard littoral combat ship USS Coronado (LCS 4) following completion of routine operations in the Sulu Sea near the Balabac Strait. Coronado is specifically designed for this type of maritime security and counter-piracy operations and has a Surface Warfare (SUW) mission package, comprised of two 11-meter rigid hull inflatable boats (RHIB), two visit, board, search and seizure (VBSS) boarding teams, two 30mm machine guns, two Northrop-Grumman MQ-8B Fire Scout unmanned aerial vehicle, and a Lockheed-Martin MH-60S Seahawk helicopter.

Navy Tests Anti-Swarm Boat Missile on Littoral Combat Ship USS Detroit (7.02.2017)
The Navy conducted its first test of a short-range missile system designed to protect a Littoral Combat Ship against swarming threats, Naval Sea Systems Command announced on Tuesday.
The Feb. 28 test, off of Norfolk, Va., tested the Surface-to-Surface Missile Module (SSMM) aboard the Freedom-class Littoral Combat Ship USS Detroit (LCS-7), firing multiple Lockheed Martin AGM-114L Longbow Hellfire missiles.
“The test marked the first launch of a missile from the SSMM from an LCS as well as the first vertical missile launched from an LCS,” reads a NAVSEA statement. The missiles work with a pair of 30mm Bushmaster cannons and the ship’s main 76mm deck gun for the anti-swarm boat mission.
“This was another positive step forward in fielding of the next increment for the SuW mission package,” Capt. Ted Zobel, mission modules program manager at the Program Executive Office for LCS, said in the NAVSEA statement. “The SSMM is a critical piece of the SuW MP, and this event will allow us to move safely into developmental testing and soon to fielding this capability aboard LCS.”
Longbow is the third missile the Navy has considered for the long-delayed capability for the SuW mission package. In 2011 the Navy announced it would use the Raytheon Griffin IIB missile for the SuW package. In 2014 the Navy announced it would use Longbow. Before Griffin, the Navy and Army were developing a custom missile that would replace the failed of the defunct Non-Line-of-Sight Launch missile system (N-LOS).
Trouble developing the missile for the mission package prompted the Navy to certify a more limited SuW package that traded the missile capability for space for visit, board, search and seizure teams (VBSS) that could deploy from LCS.
An early iteration of that SuW package deployed with a Coast Guard law enforcement detachment (LEDET) in 2010 with USS Freedom (LCS-1) in the Caribbean, the Gulf of Mexico and eastern Pacific.
As the Navy has developed the SuW package, the swarm boat threat to the LCS has been overshadowed by the service’s desire to arm both variants of the class with an over-the-horizon anti-ship missile for LCS and the planned follow-on frigate.
The SuW mission package will begin testing on USS Milwaukee (LCS-5) later this year and will have an initial operational capability in 2018.
