Air & Msl Defense Planning Control Sys

Abstract

The Air and Missile Defense Planning and Control System (AMDPCS) provides integration of air and missile defense operations at all echelon. Specifically, Air and Missile Defense Workstation (AMDWS) provides a correlated air picture using local radars, allowing the Commander the visibility and situational understanding of airspace; other automated defense design and staff planning tools in AMDWS afford 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 Forward Area Air Defense Command and Control (FAAD C2) and displayed on AMDWS, provides a near-real time, three dimensional joint 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 capability and technology reuse, AMDWS and FAAD C2 are core components of the Counter-Rocket, Artillery, Mortar (C-RAM) system-of-systems currently deployed in multiple areas of operation. FY 2020 Base dollars in the amount of $14.300 million fund development, engineering, testing, and certification of AMDWS software; interoperability engineering, testing, and evaluation of AMDPCS family-of-systems shelters; and software system certification testing, accreditation, and approval of authority-to-operate (ATO).
