Army Integrated Air and Missile Defense
Abstract
This funding line is directly aligned to the U.S. Army Air and Missile Defense (AMD) Modernization Priority. The Army Integrated Air and Missile Defense (AIAMD) program is a designated Major Defense Acquisition Program (MDAP), a critical component of the Army's AMD strategy, and is a top AMD Cross Functional Team modernization priority program. The AIAMD program is a direct response to the U.S. Army 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 Department of Defense (DoD) 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 provides advanced capabilities to the Army through agile software development and 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 enables 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 mitigates the coverage gaps and single points of failure that have plagued AMD design in the past. The AIAMD program provides the user with the ability to train on a single C2 system, resulting in overall training savings. The AIAMD program also provides the Army with the ability to procure components that interface with the Integrated Fire Control Network (IFCN), alleviating the cost of procuring total system capabilities in the future. AIAMD Initial Operation Capability (IOC) will be delivered through the fielding of the IBCS-based AIAMD architecture including the IBCS EOC, IFCN Relay, Sentinel A3, and PATRIOT components working in an integrated manner through the IFCN connection. The government controlled open architecture enables integration of beyond IOC capabilities to meet emerging threats and fielding to include but, not limited to, Air Defense Airspace Management (ADAM) Cells, ADA Brigade, and Army Air and Missile Defense Command (AAMDC). The AIAMD Program will also continue integration with both Lower Tier Air and Missile Defense Sensor (LTAMDS) and Enduring Indirect Fire Protection Capability (IFPC). Funding in FY 2023 supports agile software development and integration, developmental testing and requirements verification of the software build, operational testing, collective training and integration activities for integrated fires capabilities. Funding also continues Post-IOC 1-N Capabilities to include Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) Planner, and F-35 Joint Striker. Funding includes test hardware requirements as well as lab infrastructure in order to support integration. Funds will continue the development and integration efforts of the Remote Interceptor Guidance-360 (RIG-360), which will provide integration of an independent, adapted uplinker into IBCS to support 360 degree PAC-3 Missile Segment Enhancement (MSE) engagements outside the coverage of the current PATRIOT Radar.
