The mine countermeasures (MCM) and anti-submarine warfare (ASW) mission packages for littoral combat ships (LCSs) are still facing hurdles even as US Navy (USN) programme officials say the systems are moving closer to deployment, according to the US Government Accountability Office (GAO).

The navy reduced MCM package requirements to focus on the ability of individual systems to integrate with and communicate on an LCS rather than achieve a mine clearance rate, according to programme officials, the GAO said in its annual report on major weapons systems, released on 8 June.
