In addition to providing military planners with critical planning tools for force projection
Projected Benefits
and logistics management, it is anticipated that successful development and fielding of the
LMCS class of water-crossing capability could offer significantly increased maneuver
options for future operations, particularly in many coastal areas around the world. The
LMCS will provide a TSV transportable and deployable system that provides all the
capabilities of existing systems while only requiring 30% of the weight and shipping
volume.
