LCS to use Army FCS weapon

The Navy is borrowing a page from the Army's Future Combat Systems playbook, integrating four Non-Line of Sight Launch Systems on the deck of its Littoral Combat Ship. In August off the coast of the Florida Panhandle, tests were conducted to prove NLOS-LS effectiveness. The next test is scheduled for 2009 and will evaluate capabilities in a different water environment. (Source: Aviation Week, 11/14/08)
