Army Integrated Air and Missile Defense (AIAMD) integrates current and future Air and Missile Defense (AMD) Sensors, Weapons, and Mission Command technologies into an Integrated Fire Control System, provides a single air picture, increases defended area, and provides flexibility in systems deployment. The Integrated Battle Command System (IBCS) is the fire control and operational center capability that provides greater defense effectiveness than what can be provided in the current single sensor fire unit construct. IBCS develops composite tracks from sensor measurement data provided by each sensor in the task force and develops weapon firing solutions based off the composite track data. This method provides a more accurate target track and more weapon battlespace than current systems can provide. The IBCS provides a common engagement operations center and data sharing capability for all echelons of Army AMD, through all domains of military operations.
