Army Integrated Air and Missile Defense (AIAMD)
Abstract
The Army Integrated Air and Missile Defense (AIAMD) program is a designated Major Defense Acquisition Program (MDAP). The AIAMD program is a direct response to the U.S. Army Air and Missile Defense (AMD) Concept and Operational and Organizational (O&O) Plan for the Future Force, the AIAMD System of Systems (SoS) Capabilities Development Document (CDD) and the AMD Task Force Concept of Operations (CONOPS). The AIAMD Program is uniquely structured to enable the development of an overarching SoS capability with all participating Air Defense Artillery (ADA) components functioning interdependently to provide total operational capabilities not achievable by the individual element systems. The AIAMD program achieves this objective by establishing the AIAMD architecture and developing (1) the IAMD Battle Command Systems (IBCS) Engagement Operations Center (EOC) that provides the common Mission Command capability, (2) the Integrated Fire Control Relay capability for fire control connectivity and distributed operations, and (3) the common Plug and Fight (P&F) Kits that network enable multiple sensor components, weapon components, and the IBCS EOC. The AIAMD Program will provide advanced capabilities to the Army and the soldier by allowing transformation to a network-centric SoS capability (also referred to as "Plug and Fight") that integrates AMD sensors and weapons with the IBCS EOC. The AIAMD SoS architecture will enable extended range and non-line-of-sight engagements, to include joint kill chain engagements across the full spectrum of aerial threats, providing fire control quality data to the most appropriate weapon to complete the mission successfully. Further, it will mitigate the coverage gaps and the single points of failure that have plagued AMD design in the past. The AIAMD program will provide the user with the ability to train on a single IBCS that will result in overall training savings. The AIAMD program will also provide the Army with the ability to procure components that will interface with the Integrated Fire Control Network (IFCN), alleviating the cost of procuring total system capabilities in the future. AIAMD IOC will be delivered through the fielding of the IBCS-based AIAMD architecture including the IBCS EOC, Integrated Fire Control Network (IFCN) Relay, Sentinel, and Patriot components working in an integrated manner through the IFCN connection. The government controlled open architecture enables integration of future capabilities to meet emerging threats and fielding to Indirect Fire Protection Capability (IFPC), Air Defense Airspace Management (ADAM) Cells, ADA Brigade, Army Air and Missile Defense Command (AAMDC), and Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD). Funding in FY 2020 supports agile software development, developmental and operational testing, culminating in a Limited User Test (LUT) in fourth quarter FY 2020. These include: completion of IBCS Qualification Testing, Logistics Demonstration, New Equipment Training development, Collective Training development and developmental testing. The LUT supports a Low Rate Initial Production Decision at Milestone C in FY 2020 consisting of both hardware in the loop and live fire events. Software development continues throughout FY 2020 to integrate additional capabilities prior to Initial Operational Capability (IOC) in FY 2022. AIAMD is a critical component of the Army's Air and Missile Defense strategy, the Chief of Staff of the Army's number five modernization priority.
