The Loitering Munition launchers can even be interspersed with “Deep Strike” VLS missile ISO shipping containers and other missile launcher canisters for a more blended and balanced Anti-Air, Anti-Surface, Anti-Ship, Anti-Armor, Anti-Submarine, Anti-Missile, and Anti-Unmanned System LUSV armament. The small footprint of the Loitering Munition launchers means that can be arraigned in vertical launch configuration inside ISO shipping containers smaller than 40 feet for concealment and disguise and fired through the container’s roof, or have the exposed munition launchers mounted at various levels on a “step pyramid” platform fixed to the LUSV’s cargo deck. With so many Loitering Munition launcher cells aboard a LUSV, in this example, the Amy Clemons McCall ®’s 132 feet (40 meters) open cargo deck, the “LUSV Loitering Munitions Concept” vessel can put at risk large militia fishing fleets, militia ferries, shore targets and land-based vehicles, island fortifications, small boats, seaplanes, and amphibious assault swimming vehicle swarms from various distances as an improvised “Arsenal Ship” for a fraction of the bulk and cost of specialized missiles for a persistent U.S. 50cal M2 heavy machine gun on a USV’s remote turret), and to counter enemy “drone swarms.” Navy’s armed unmanned systems (such as the. Naval presence and a “Show of Force.” The LUSVs would have enough missile launchers to act similar to the Ohio-class Guided Missile Submarines’ (SSGNs), and the numerous ESSM and Anti-Ship missiles carried on a single LUSV can counter the effect of an adversary’s small unmanned aerial and surface systems that can be better armed and also can out-range the weapons of the U.S. Navy could use to complement the amphibious force, provide (wide) area sea denial and deterrence, act as independent “USV swarms,” or to show sustained U.S. This would create the “Anti-Ship Missile Corvette” that the U.S. Navy new approximately 186 miles (300 kilometers) ASMs with advanced beneficial features such as passive electro-optical (EO), infrared (IR), and imaging infrared (IIR) seekers, auto-target recognition, deep learning, Artificial Intelligence, multi-directional synchronized attack (to have multiple ASMs converge on the target simultaneously from different directions), all-weather operations, and stealthier designs if acquired. Furthermore, new future Anti-Ship Missiles (ASM) such as Rafael’s “Sea Breaker” or IAI’s “Sea Serpent” can give the U.S. Naval Strike Missile (NSM) launchers can also be incorporated for a mixture of longer-range Harpoon Block II+ and stealthy and more survivable NSMs.
