Martin’s Agile Management System (LMACS) can provide anti-air,
anti-surface and electronic warfare capabilities for frigates, corvettes,
offshore patrol vessels and fast attack craft. |

LMACS
evolved from the Aegis system used by the U.S., Australia, Japan, Republic
of Korea, Spain and Norway, as well as COMBATSS-21, which is currently
operational on the U.S. Navy’s first
littoral combat ship, USS Freedom. |

“This combat
system will provide seamless integration of warfare capabilities at
an affordable price for navy customers worldwide,” said Doug
Wilhelm, director of International Programs for Lockheed Martin’s
Integrated Warfare Systems & Sensors line of business. “This
software builds upon the major characteristics and capabilities of
COMBATSS-21 and offers a cost-effective, smaller footprint to accommodate
operational, combat and space requirements.” |
