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.”

LMACS is available to international navies via direct commercial sales to facilitate rapid ship production and commissioning.
