The U.S. Navy is seeking proposals for its Landing Ship Medium program, which is a top priority for the Navy-Marine amphibious team. The contract would cover up to six vessels and offers are due by May 9, 2022. The Navy previously issued five concept design study contracts to collaborate with industry during the requirements development phase. The Landing Ship Medium (LSM) is to primarily support Marine littoral regiments serving as a stand-in force particularly in the vast Pacific. The Marine Corps is set to buy three stern landing vessels to turn into LSM prototypes to begin experimenting with the new platform. The program is on track since its procurement start was delayed to FY25.
