Air & Msl Defense Planning Control Sys
Abstract
The Air and Missile Defense Planning and Control System (AMDPCS) is an Army Objective Force System that provides integration of Air and Missile Defense (AMD) operations at all echelons. AMDPCS systems are deployed with Air Defense Artillery (ADA) brigades, Army Air and Missile Defense Commands (AAMDCs), and Air Defense and Airspace Management (ADAM) Cells at the Brigade Combat Teams (BCT's), Multi Functional Support Brigades and Divisions/Corps. AMDPCS systems also provide air defense capabilities to Homeland Defense systems. ADAM Cells provide the Commander at BCTs, Brigades and Divisions with air defense situational awareness and airspace management capabilities. They also provide the interoperability link with Joint, multinational and coalition forces. AMDPCS components are vital in the transformation of ADA units and the activation of the AMD Battalions. AMDPCS has three major components: (1) The Air and Missile Defense Workstation (AMDWS) is an automated defense and staff planning tool that displays the common tactical and operational three dimensional air picture. AMDWS is the air picture provider for the Army, producing an integrated and correlated air picture at all tactical levels and locations. AMDWS is also an integral component of Integrated Base Defense. AMDWS provides an interoperability link to multinational air defense forces; (2) The Air Defense System Integrator (ADSI) is joint data link communications processor and display system that provides near-real time, three dimensional and joint airspace situational awareness for AMD forces; (3) The Army Air Defense shelter configurations use automated data processing equipment, tactical communications, Common Hardware Systems, standard vehicles and tactical power to provide AMD unit commanders and staffs with the capabilities to plan missions, direct forces, and manage airspace. The integration of the Passive Identification, Friend or Foe (PIFF) capability into sheltered systems enables AMDPCS to track self-reporting aircraft. PIFF receives position and identification data from self-reporting aircraft, to include UAS, within 250 nautical miles. $24.326M FY 2019 funds the development, software engineering, testing and certification of AMDWS and PIFF software; Engineering, development, test and evaluation of the AMDPCS Family of Shelter (FoS) subsystems; and Software system certification testing, accreditation, and approval of authority-to-operate (ATO).
