Littoral combat ship

This paper examines Remote Minehunting System (RMS) of Littoral Combat Ship (LCS) in detail. LCS is a fast platform designed for executing operations in near-shore environments. But, it is capable of conducting open-ocean operation as well. It is designed to defeat asymmetric threats. Mines, submarines and fast surface craft can be shown as unique examples of asymmetric threats. The LCS, which is a fast, maneuverable surface ship, provides warfighting capabilities for tasks/missions including mine

in November 2008, the Littoral Combat Ship has received a mixed reception. The Navy, select lawmakers and the ship’s producers—Austal USA and Lockheed Martin—have thrown support behind the ship, while the Pentagon has been more than critical toward the produced models. Voyages marred by cracked hulls, technical failures and rusting are only a selection of the ship’s issues. The ship has also faced criticism of how vulnerable it is to an attack, and during testing on one ship, some of the engines

Movement of combat forces from the sea to the shore is executed by an Amphibious Task Force (ATF) organized and formed by the Navy. The

The Navy Seals began as early as World War II. Volunteers from the Naval Construction Battalions (SeaBees) were organized into special teams called Navy Combat Demolition Units (NCDUs). The units were assigned the task of exploring and clearing beach obstacles for troops going to land ashore. Combat Swimmer Exploration teams were established during this time. The Navy SEALs are trained to operate in all environments such sea, air and land. This is where the name SEALs originated. The United States

INTRODUCTION Friction Stir welding is a new welding process developed in 1991. It is a solid state process which involves no metal melting. It takes place below the melting point of the material so there is no problem of hot defects like porosity, hot cracking, shrinkage, blow holes etc. It is a green process which doesn’t require any shielding gas or filler material with low energy consumption. It is the best technique we have today to join dissimilar materials like aluminium with copper, aluminium

and ships are increasingly being put in jeopardy. The human aspect of the military is the foundation of everything we do, and without that vital part in the proverbial pyramid of defense, everything else is meaningless. The technology of the times is only as effective as the human element supporting it. Without the vital human aspect, all of the newest technology may as well be a useless pile of junk. Despite the importance of maintaining a strong human aspect, if we allow our Navy’s ships to fall

The ships’ main weapons are twin 155mm BAE Systems Advanced Gun Systems (AGS) designed to fire a specialized rocket assisted guided round to attack land targets – Lockheed Martin’s Long Range Land Attack Projectile. he Rheinmetall laser isn't a single weapon

The navy has vastly changed its look over the past ten years with the revamping of vassals to the new smart technology it brings with weapon systems. With all of the new technology and ship designs coming into the futures standpoint, there are many problems when it comes to maintaining each device or ship because its time consuming and very expensive. I chose to talk about the future of the navy because of all the new stories breaking to the public about the new installations of the rail gun,

force and the importance of concepts like seabasing, C2, and the ESG in amphibious operations. Applying the concepts of seabasing, C2, and the ESG in joint exercises with platforms such as Maritime Prepositioning Force, multipurpose amphibious assault ships (LHD), Landing Craft Air Cushion (LCAC), AV-8B Vertical/Short Take-Off and Landing (VSTOL) jets, and MV-22 tilt rotor aircraft ensure that we are better prepared to conduct forcible entry operations than we were during the landing at Inchon, and subsequent
