Raytheon Griffin installation on the LCS will cost less than the larger NLOS system and can hit targets at acceptable ranges.
A short-range version of the weapon would be fielded around mid-decade, followed by a longer-range version a couple of years later, according to DoD Buzz.
Griffin was originally designed as a replacement for the Hellfire antitank missile used by unmanned aerial vehicles.
The missile is equipped with a 13lb warhead and semi-active laser seeker, and uses parts of the Javelin anti-tank and AIM-9X Sidewinder air-to-air missiles.
