LCS MCCMS RFI Attachment

LCS Machinery Control Consolidated Maintenance System

1. Background

a. The Cyber secure Hull, Mechanical, & Electrical (HM&E) Control Systems & Networks

Department (NSWCPD Department 50) supports US Navy HM&E Controls, Navigation, Casualty Control, Conditioned-Based Maintenance, and Network Systems on all US Navy

Surface Combatant, Amphibious, and Aircraft Carrier ships. NSWCPD Division 51 supports the development, modernization, acquisition and life cycle maintenance of

Control Systems across all ship platforms.

b. This RFI is for engineering and technical services required to perform development, modernization, acquisition, deployment and life cycle maintenance for the LCS Classes

Machinery Control Consolidated Maintenance System (MCCMS), or “maintenance laptop”.

c. The purpose of the MCCMS is to provide a cost-effective system to troubleshoot, observe, and maintain shipboard machinery and associated systems aboard both

Littoral Combat Ship variants. The MCCMS provides one consolidated system that is utilized by multiple personnel types to troubleshoot, observe, and maintain several machinery systems on board both LCS Variants. This system reduces reliance on original equipment manufacturers, reducing time to support the ship, travel and labor costs, and

Integrated Logistics Support (ILS) impacts. Figure 1 provides a high-level block diagram of the MCCMS. Figures 2 and 3 provide a list of MCCMS software components on both

LCS 1 and 2 ship classes.

d. The MCCMS is utilized on board all USS Freedom (LCS -1), and USS Independence (LCS-2) ships for a total of 28 ships. The MCCMS is used by ships force and Regional

Maintenance Center (RMC) personnel.

e. The maintenance laptop is an integration project, utilizing COTS software, installed on a ruggedized laptop for shipboard use in troubleshooting, observing and maintaining various machinery systems aboard the LCS ships. The maintenance laptop is not a part of any one operational shipboard system, but a standalone system used as a resource to interface with various shipboard systems/equipment.

f. The maintenance laptop has an inherently low cyber-risk and is implemented according to the Risk Management Framework (RMF) process as implemented by NSWCPD

Philadelphia (eMASS #10892 for Freedom and s-3738 for Independence).
