The Navy's small surface combatant task force, set up to develop proposals for an alternative to the Littoral Combat Ship, is soliciting market information from industry to gauge the possibilities for a vessel that will meet the Pentagon and Navy capability requirements. The Navy on Wednesday issued a request for information from industry on potential designs suited to the service's requirements for the future small surface combatant. "The Navy is interested in market information pertinent to a future small surface combatant (including modified Littoral Combat Ships (LCS)). In particular, whole ship design information, including cost, on mature ship designs and mature concept designs that have the capability and lethality generally consistent with a small surface combatant is desired," the notice, posted late Wednesday on Federal Business Opportunities, reads.
