SSC 2

The Small Surface Combatant (SSC) is a multi-mission frigate evolved from the LCS class corvette following the decision made public by the US Secreatry of Defense, Chuck Hagel, early in December 2014. The SSC is based on an upgraded variant of the LCS platform offering improvements in ship lethality and survivability, delivering enhanced naval combat performance. It will feature an improved air defense radar; air defense decoys; a new, more effective electronic warfare system; an over-the-horizon anti-ship missile; multi-function towed array sonar; torpedo defenses; and additional armor protection. Production of the first SSC is expected to start no later than fiscal year 2019. The US Navy plans call for the procurement of 52 LCS and SSC class ships by 2030. The SSC program was canceled in favor of the FFG(X) class frigate.
