DESCRIPTION
The Army Integrated Air and Missile Defense (AIAMD) will enable
the integration of modular components (current and future Air and
Missile Defense (AMD) sensors, weapons and Mission Command
(MC) technologies with a common MC capability in a networked and
distributed plug-and-fight architecture. This common MC, called
the Integrated AMD Battle Command System (IBCS), will provide
standard configurations and capabilities at each echelon. This allows
Joint, interagency, intergovernmental and multinational AMD forces
to organize based on mission, enemy, terrain and weather, available
time, troops and support available, and civil considerations. Shelters and
vehicles may be added to enable broader missions and a wider span of
control executed at higher echelons.
BENEFIT TO THE WARFIGHTER
The plug-and-fight architecture and common MC system will enable
dynamic defense design for the warfighter and provide the capability
for interdependent, network-centric operations to the supported force
scheme of operations and maneuver. This architecture will enable
extended range and nonline-of-sight engagements across the full
spectrum of aerial threats. It will mitigate coverage gaps and single
points of failure as well as reduce manpower, enhance training, and
reduce operation and support costs.
