Poland Signs Agreement to Purchase Northrop Grumman’s Integrated Air and Missile Defense Battle Command System
28 Mars 2018 - 9:06PM
The government of Poland has signed a Letter of Offer and
Acceptance (LOA) with the U.S. government to purchase the Northrop
Grumman Corporation (NYSE:NOC)-developed Integrated Air and Missile
Defense (IAMD) Battle Command System (IBCS).
The LOA allows the U.S. government to start contracting with
Northrop Grumman for production and delivery of IBCS that enables
Poland’s modernized air defense capabilities.
Poland becomes the first international partner country to
purchase the IBCS. By implementing IBCS, Poland will transform its
IAMD capabilities in a manner consistent with how the U.S. Army is
revolutionizing IAMD. Poland will also ensure seamless integration
of its air defense forces in allied operations.
“We congratulate Poland on its recent anniversary of accession
to NATO,” said Dan Verwiel, vice president and general manager,
missile defense and protective systems, Northrop Grumman. “With
IBCS, Poland sets a new standard for NATO for the most cutting edge
IAMD capabilities possible.”
“Northrop Grumman looks forward to working with the Polish
Ministry of National Defence and Polish industry to help produce
and sustain IBCS for the WISŁA program,” said Tarik Reyes, vice
president, business development, missile defense and protective
systems, Northrop Grumman.
IBCS continues to confirm the effectiveness of a net-centric,
enterprise approach to IAMD for getting capabilities to the
warfighter that make a pivotal difference on the battlefield. IBCS
replaces stove-piped legacy C2 systems to deliver a single
integrated air picture and offer the flexibility to deploy smaller
force packages. By integrating sensors and interceptors, IBCS
provides wider area surveillance and broader protection areas. With
its truly open systems architecture, IBCS enables incorporation of
current and future sensors and weapon systems and interoperability
with joint C2 and the ballistic missile defense system.
Key to IAMD transformation and the Army IAMD portfolio, the IBCS
is managed by the U.S. Army IAMD Project Office, Program Executive
Office for Missiles and Space, Redstone Arsenal, Alabama.
