As the cornerstone of the U.S. Army’s efforts to modernize air
and missile defense, IBCS now has shown its data-centric
extensibility to take on additional missions including homeland
defense, as it has proven through previous rigorous testing of its
ability to defend the warfighter.
- During the first two
demonstrations, IBCS’ open architecture allowed the rapid
integration of existing Army and Air Force sensors and effectors,
such as Sentinel, Avenger and National Advanced
Surface-to-Air-Missile System (NASAMS).
- Through the concluding
demonstration, soldiers from the 263rd Air and Missile Defense
Command used IBCS and the Joint Track Management Capability to
integrate Navy sensor information to significantly extend the
defended area across the National Capital Region.
- These successful demonstrations
further prove IBCS’ ability to unify sensors and shooters to decide
the best action to out-pace and defeat complex threats.
Expert:
Rebecca Torzone, vice president and general manager, combat
systems and mission readiness, Northrop Grumman: “IBCS is
continuously showing its ability to unify all available sensors and
shooters. Through the recent National Capital Region
demonstrations, IBCS proved its capabilities in providing homeland
defense against cruise missiles and other aerial threats. IBCS is
ready now to take on the tomorrow’s threats.”
Details on IBCS:
IBCS is a revolutionary command control system that unifies
current and future assets across the battlespace, regardless of
source, service or domain. Through its modular, open and scalable
architecture, it gives warfighters capabilities they never had
before by fusing sensor data for a single, actionable picture of
the full battlespace that enables rapid, informed decisions to
optimize shooters. This capability extends the battlespace, giving
warfighters more time to make decisions on how best to defeat
threats. This system is the centerpiece of the U.S.
Army’s modernization strategy for air and missile defense,
supporting a multi-domain future and continued modernization of
U.S. and Allied capabilities.
