COMBATSS-21 Scalable combat management system for the world s navies
The COMBATSS-21 total ship combat management system was designed to deliver capability rapidly and affordably. Built on an open architecture, scalable framework, it incorporates tested, highly reliable, non-developmental software, making COMBATSS-21 an extremely capable and low-risk solution. Operational Functionality COMBATSS-21 provides a scalable, services-based framework. Custom software adapters called boundary components are the key to the flexibility of the architecture to support a wide range of sensors, communication, and weapon interfaces. Boundary components simplify integration of system elements and provide flexibility to accommodate future change. The componentized and layered architecture enables upgrades and changes to any part of the system with minimal impact to the remaining software. Customer defined sensors, communication and weapons are easily integrated and isolated from core components of the command and control system. New components can easily be incorporated to address the unique needs of the customer. System Versatility Because of its modern architecture, COMBATSS-21 can be hosted on configurations ranging from a single commercial processor running a commercial operating system to more distributed configurations. This makes COMBATSS-21 affordable and readily adaptable to a wide variety of shipboard applications from patrol craft to large deck ships. COMBATSS-21 is highly tailorable to meet the demands of the mission. It provides the flexibility to support a multi-mission ship designed for a wide range of naval operations, as well as ship designs with reconfigurable focused mission packages. Its proven software meets requirements for a low-risk, affordable solution that can be easily upgraded to meet evolving threats and environments throughout the ship s life cycle. Mission Capabilities Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance Anti-Terrorism / Force Protection Special Operations Surface Warfare Maritime Interdiction / Interception Operations Homeland Defense Anti-Submarine Warfare Mine Warfare

Proven Performance By integrating advances made on existing U.S. and international programs, Lockheed Martin investment and best-of-breed components from industry partners throughout the world, COMBATSS-21 offers proven warfighting performance and unprecedented flexibility. COMBATSS-21 is fully network-enabled to perform as a highly capable node in battle groups and joint operations to deliver real-time information to decision makers around the world. COMBATSS-21 has been fielded in the U.S. Navy s Littoral Combat Ship, USS Freedom, and multiple international Navy ships. Components of COMBATSS-21 have also been leveraged in U.S. Navy Aegis cruisers and destroyers, as well as the U.S. Coast Guard Deepwater program. This commonality across multiple navies and programs results in build it once, use it many times cost and schedule benefits, which leads to further opportunities for sharing new capabilities to support evolving mission requirements at a lower total ownership cost. In-Country Partnerships Open business model takes advantage of local industrial expertise Successful portfolio of performance on international partnership programs COMBATSS-21 Combat Management System s proven pedigree provides a capable, low-risk foundation that is extensible to a wide array of missions and naval platforms.

Success at Sea USS Freedom, the first Littoral Combat Ship, was commissioned in the fall of 2008 and is at sea. Lockheed Martin s ability to meet this aggressive schedule is a testament to the versatility and power of COMBATSS-21. LCS is an entirely new class of U.S. Navy warship. A fast and agile surface combatant, LCS s modular, focused mission design provides maritime dominance and access for the joint force in coastal waters. LCS operates with focused-mission packages that deploy manned and unmanned vehicles to execute Anti-Surface Warfare, Mine Countermeasures and Anti-Submarine Warfare missions. LCS is ForceNET enabled networked to share tactical information with other Navy aircraft, ships, submarines and joint units. The LCS Combat Management System provides proven combat power, mission flexibility and a robust, layered self defense system, but thanks to the open architecture of COMBATSS-21, the LCS system required minimal software development. The LCS flight 0 software was completed ahead of schedule and below budget through the reuse of more than 95 percent of the software. With a smaller infrastructure footprint, COMBATSS-21 is compatible with a variety of shipboard applications at lower cost while exploiting commercial computing performance improvements. 30% Increase in AAW Performance 12 10 8 6 200 150 100 4 2 0 Number of CPUs Required Shipset CPU Cost ($K) 50 0 COMBATSS-21 Open Architecture C2 Legacy Combat Management System
