Navy cost limits favor Lockheed Martin on LCS contract

Article Abstract:

The Lockheed Martin entry for the Navy's Littoral Combat Ship (LCS) contract is likely to be the sole winner of the competition, also contested by General Dynamics Corp. and Raytheon Co., due to its low-cost approach through the use of traditional designs and building techniques. With the Navy's move to cut the price per ship, inclusive of the mission modules, from $400 million to $250 million, Lockheed's cost-cutting moves such as the mono-hull design and external radar and antennas should prove advantageous.
