Yup, which has the major advantage that the launcher need not radiate.
I don't think the fact that it's a LCS ship is relevant here--the important thing is the ability to separate the missile from it's control. A E-2 isn't going to want to get anywhere near the conflict but how about a F-22? Nice and stealthy, load it up with fuel and some Sidewinders for self defense and it calls in missile fire from elsewhere.
It's also very good for adding magazine depth.
- icegreentea2 3y agoWell, the fact that it's LCS is relevant because LCS has been a gong show. If they can make this viable, and keep the past propulsion problems under control, then suddenly you've got 30 odd so extra hulls you can deploy to help tide you over until FFG 62s start rolling out.
