Originally built through a high degree of reuse from the Aegis weapon system, COMBATSS-21 is now part of a common product library that delivers to Aegis, LCS, the US Coastguard’s Deepwater programme and international navies.
Key components integrated with COMBATSS-21 include the radar, gun weapon system, missile launcher, decoy launcher and electronic warfare system.
The successful integration and testing validated Lockheed Martin’s open architecture approach with both COMBATSS-21 and Freedom itself, Lockheed said.
During the integration testing, targets of opportunity were engaged and tracked to demonstrate operability.
