Northrop Grumman Delivers Transformative Integrated Battle Command System for Poland’s WISŁA Air Defense Program
15 Mai 2023 - 3:30PM
Northrop Grumman Corporation (NYSE: NOC) has delivered key
Integrated Battle Command System (IBCS) components for Poland’s
WISŁA medium range air defense program. With this delivery, IBCS
moves closer to being fully fielded as part of Poland’s advanced
air and missile defense program.
The recent delivery of the IBCS Integrated Fire Control Network
(IFCN) relays supports the WISŁA program’s fielding schedule, which
is the first foreign military sale of IBCS. Reaching this milestone
provides a critical capability to a key U.S. ally and achieves NATO
interoperability goals.
“Northrop Grumman is transforming decision making for the U.S.
and its allies by integrating sensors and weapons for air and
missile defense,” said Rebecca Torzone, vice president and general
manager, Combat Systems and Mission Readiness, Northrop Grumman.
“IBCS provides Polish air defenders with the ability to make
faster, better-informed decisions to deter, disrupt and defeat
threats across all domains.”
In parallel to the IFCN relay deliveries, Northrop Grumman is
conducting a series of integration and test scenarios with the
Engagement Operation Centers (EOCs) previously delivered in July
2022, and the relays. These tests and the associated training are
important steps toward Poland taking full delivery of their first
systems and achieving Basic Operational Capability later in
2023.
IBCS implements a modular, open and scalable architecture
foundational to integrating available assets in the battlespace,
regardless of source, service or domain onto common fire control
network. Its architecture enables the efficient and affordable
integration of current and future systems and extends the
battlespace by disaggregating sensors and effectors. By enabling
this high level of network integration, the warfighter is given
unprecedented time to make accurate decisions. Through numerous
successful development and operational tests and demonstrations,
IBCS has proven its capability to connect and fuse multi-service
sensor data to multi-service weapons, demonstrating Joint All
Domain Command and Control (JADC2) capabilities.
