These upgrades will augment the facility with a 4 GeV continuous-wave superconducting electron accelerator (LCLS-II) that is subsequently extended to 8 GeV (LCLS-II-HE), and a PW-class laser system coupled to the X-ray laser (MEC-U). The science motivation, expected performance, technological drivers, and status will be presented. Future capabilities, beyond those enabled with the ongoing upgrades, will also be discussed.
