Northrop Grumman Fields Polish Integrated Battle Command System Training Program Two Years Early
28 Juin 2023 - 3:30PM
Northrop Grumman Corporation (NYSE: NOC) has launched a trainer to
teach Polish soldiers how to use the Integrated Battle Command
System (IBCS). The system, delivered two years ahead of schedule,
will enable Poland to quickly field the transformational integrated
command and control capabilities of IBCS. Poland is the first U.S.
ally to field IBCS.

“Coupling our innovative individual skills trainer with IBCS
creates a complete package for the U.S. Army and allies to prepare
them for tomorrow’s multi-domain battlefield,” said Rebecca
Torzone, vice president and general manager, combat systems and
mission readiness, Northrop Grumman. “With this IBCS package,
Poland is modernizing their air and missile defense forces to
enhance the safety and security of their country for years to
come.”
Known as Air Defense Reconfigurable Trainer (ART), the Northrop
Grumman training system hosts a wide range of materials and is
configurable to support multiple missions. Built using training
material developed for the U.S. Army’s new equipment training, ART
allows the end user to augment in-person training as well as
conduct self-paced sustainment training. This accelerates training
speed and efficiency while simultaneously reducing potential
cost.
Northrop Grumman field service representatives traveled to
Poland and completed installation of ART at the Polish air defense
school. Train-the-trainer events were also underway at Redstone
Arsenal, Alabama allowing Northrop Grumman’s training capability to
aid Polish soldiers in their understanding of IBCS.
IBCS implements a modular, open and scalable architecture that
is 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 the Army’s
contribution to the Joint All Domain Command and Control (JADC2)
capabilities.
