Air & Msl Defense Planning Control Sys

Abstract

The Air Missile Defense Planning and Control System (AMDPCS) provides integration of air and missile defense operations at all echelons. AMDPCS is comprised of the following major subsystems: Air Missile Defense Work Station (AMDWS) provides a correlated air picture using local radars, allowing the Commander the visibility and situational understanding of the airspace; other tools in AMDWS affords Soldiers horizontal and vertical collaborative planning with adjacent units. Air Defense System Integrator (ADSI) serves as a joint tactical datalink gateway/air picture. Forward Area Air Defense (FAAD), correlates the joint and local air picture and when 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 are currently fielded to Army Air and Missile Defense Commands (AAMDC), Air Defense Artillery Brigades, (ADA BDE), Air Missile Defense Battalions (AMD BN) and Terminal High Altitude Area Air Defense Batteries (THAAD BTRY). Air Defense Airspace Management (ADAM), a variant of AMDPCS are fielded to Corps, Divisions, Brigade Combat Teams (BCTs) 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 Counter Rocket Artillery Mortar (C-RAM) system-of- systems currently deployed in combat zones. FY 2021 Base dollars in the amount of $8.392 million fund engineering, development, testing, and certification of AMDWS software, as well as accreditation of AMDPCS family-of-systems shelters and software.
