Air Defense Command, Control and Intelligence - Eng Dev

Abstract

The Air Missile Defense Planning and Control System (AMDPCS) FY 2025 funding request of $19.996 million provides integration of air and missile defense operations at all echelons. Specifically, the Air and Missile Defense Work Station (AMDWS) provides a correlated air picture using local radars, allowing the Commander the visibility and situational understanding of the airspace; automated defense design and staff planning tools in AMDWS allow Soldiers horizontal and vertical collaborative planning with adjacent units. Air Defense System Integrator (ADSI) serves as a joint tactical data link gateway/air picture, and when correlated by the Forward Area Air Defense Command and Control (FAAD C2) and displayed on AMDWS, provides a near real-time, three-dimensional air picture for the Commander. Joint Tactical Terminal (JTT) provides soldiers Theater Ballistic Missile (TBM) early warning, allowing them to take appropriate actions. AMDPCS is fielded to Army Air and Missile Defense Commands (AAMDC), Air Defense Artillery Brigades (ADA BDE), Air and Missile Defense Battalions (AMD BN), and Terminal High Altitude Area Air Defense Batteries (THAAD BTRY). Air Defense Airspace Management (ADAM), a variant of AMDPCS with similar capabilities, is fielded to Corps, Divisions, Brigade Combat Teams (BCT), and multi-functional support brigades. As part of the capability and technology reuse, AMDWS external interfaces are being leveraged by Integrated Battle Command System (IBCS) to avoid redevelopment of existing capabilities. AMDWS and FAAD C2 are core components of the Air and Missile Defense system-of-systems currently deployed in combat zones. Counter-Unmanned Aircraft Systems (C-UAS) FY 2025 funding request of $49.657 million will provide forces at all echelons with cross-domain capabilities to identify, classify, track, and defeat Groups 1-3 UAS threats, while supporting joint operational requirements. These combined arms solutions will support the full kill-chain and result in solutions addressing fixed/semi-fixed, mounted/mobile platform, dismounted, and handheld missions. Development efforts are aligned with Joint Requirements Oversight Council Memorandum (JROCM) 078-20, which codifies the threshold and objective capability requirements for C-UAS development. FY 2025 Base dollars in the amount of $5.319 million will fund technological development of C-UAS capabilities supporting deployed systems, to keep pace with evolving threats in response to existing Joint Urgent Operational Need (JUON) CC-0558 (managed by PEO MS). FY 2025 Base dollars in the amount $1.554 million will fund technology refreshes in support of existing Army Joint Emergent Operational Need (JEON) system improvements in response to ST-0008, to provide Army priority fixed sites with the ability to detect, ID, track and defeat Group 1 and 2 Remote Controlled Model Aircraft (RCMA) (managed by PEO Intelligence, Electronic Warfare and Sensors (IEWS)).
