Air and Missile Defense Systems Engineering

Abstract

This system is an integral part of the overall Air and Missile Defense (AMD) architecture and will provide for an incrementally fielded Integrated Air and Missile Defense Fire Control System/capability for the Army Air and Missile Defense Battalions. This program element provides funding for the integration of Army Integrated Air and Missile Defense (AIAMD). On 9 February 2006 the Army Systems Acquisition Review Council (ASARC) designated the IAMD program a Pre-Major Defense Acquisition Program (MDAP) and approved the stand-up of the IAMD Project Office (PO). Program Executive Office Missiles and Space (PEO MS) formally stood up the IAMD PO on 9 May 2006. On 23 December 2009 the Army Integrated Air & Missile Defense (AIAMD) program was approved for entry into the Engineering and Manufacturing Development phase as ACAT ID program. The mission of the AIAMD PO is twofold; To define, develop, acquire, field and sustain the Army's portion of the Joint IAMD system of systems capability to be deployed as integrated components in Army, Joint, interagency, and multi-national net-centric architectures; and to develop, acquire, field and sustain the AIAMD common battle command component of the architecture (replacing seven weapon system unique Battle Management Command, Control, Communications, Computers and Intelligence (BMC4I) components in an AMD Battalion) and integrate externally developed sensors and shooters to provide an effective AIAMD capability. The Capability Development Document (CDD) was JROC approved on 17 May 2010 via JROCM 073-10. The AIAMD mission is derived from analysis of the Joint Air and Missile Defense (AMD) imperatives and the four mission sets that Army AMD performs. These mission sets are: Provide Air and Missile Defense, Contribute to AMD Situational Awareness/Situational Understanding, Contribute to Airspace Management, and Integrate/contribute to operational protection. The AIAMD PO is responsible for the development of an AIAMD Architecture comprised of components developed within the Project Office as well as by other PEO MS Project Offices (Phased Array Tracking to Intercept of Target (PATRIOT), Improved Sentinel, and Joint Land Attack Cruise Missile Defense Elevated Netted Sensor Systems (JLENS)), PEO Command, Control and Communications - Tactical (C3T) Project Offices (Air and Missile Defense Command and Control Systems (AMDCCS)), Missile Defense Agency (MDA), and Joint organizations. As part of this responsibility, the AIAMD PO has responsibility for performing the overarching AIAMD System of Systems Architecture Systems Engineering. While the AIAMD Architecture is complex, it is itself part of a larger Joint System of Systems architecture. The AIAMD program provides the Army's part of this larger Joint IAMD Architecture.
