LCS can easily carry canisterlaunched Harpoon and NSM.
The
Bofors 57mm Mk3 fires 3P (Pre-fragmented, Programmable, Proximity-fuzed) ammunition at 220 rounds per minute cyclic. The all-target programmable ammunition allows 3 proximity fuzing options as well as settings for time, impact, and armor piercing functions. AA
ceiling is
7.6km, max
range at 45 degree is 13.8km-
17km, depending on munition variant. It is capable of killing anti-ship missiles.
RIM-116 RAM is a missile based CIWS, that in addition to intercepting anti-ship missile can also be used to engage surface targets. Effrective intercept range of the original Block 1 is
9 km/ 5.6 mi. RAM Block 2 is an upgraded version of the RAM missile aimed at more effectively countering more maneuverable anti-ship missiles.
Mk 49 Guided Missile Launching System (GMLS)
SeaRAM
The new
RAM Block 2 has a more powerful rocket motor and improved control surfaces, which make it faster and more maneuverable than its predecessor. The added power not only makes the RAM Block 2 faster, but also allows the missile to maintain its speed during energy-sapping high-G turns needed to intercept targets.
The Block 2 has two and a half times the range of the Block 1 RAM, i.e 22.5km / 14 mi. This is greater than the 12mi (19 km) of e.g. the older and far larger RIM-7 Sea Sparrow missile (just like ESSM has greater range than e.g. the SM-1MR originally arming the FFG-7 Perry class frigate). The latest RAM also has an improved seeker package with greater sensitivity, allowing it to detect anti-ship missiles that employ low probability-of-intercept receivers. It can be quad-packed into Mk41 cells using Extensible Launch System.
