Jane’s 360:
Northrop Grumman’s Integrated Air and Missile Defense (IAMD) Battle Command System (IBCS) has completed another round of Soldier Check Out events (SCOEs), demonstrating the system’s ability to detect, track, and simulate air target engagements during testing at White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico.
IBCS is a mobile ad hoc network that will link sensors and shooters on the battlefield, regardless of the system’s manufacturer, as nodes can come in and out of the network at will. IBCS is an element of the US Army’s Integrated Air and Missile Defense (IAMD) programme. The complete IAMD capability is expected to undergo a ‘Milestone C’ production decision in 2020.
