Air & Msl Defense Planning Control Sys

Abstract

This funding line is a key enabler of the Army Modernization Priorities in support of Air and Missile Defense. 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) ensures updated interfaces for interoperability between Air Defense and the rest of the force, allowing the Commander the visibility and situational understanding of the airspace; tools in AMDWS afford Soldiers horizontal and vertical collaborative planning with adjacent units. Common Data Link Interface-Module (CDLI-M) serves as a joint tactical datalink gateway/air picture. Forward Area Air Defense Command and Control (FAAD C2), 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 and Missile Defense Battalions (AMD BN) and Terminal High Altitude Area 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. AMDPCS is also being procured to support Maneuver Short Range Air Defense (M-SHORAD), European Deterrence Initiative (EDI), and Grow the Army (GTA) initiative. 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, CDLI-M, and FAAD C2 are core components of the Air and Missile Defense system-of-systems currently deployed in combat zones. FY 2025 Base dollars in the amount of $19.996 million fund development, cyber compliance and certification of AMDWS, CDLI-M and FAAD C2 software, as well as accreditation of AMDPCS family-of-systems shelters and software.
