Integrated Air and Missile Defense (IAMD)
Abstract
The IAMD effort provides a consistent, disciplined systems engineering process using a joint service systems engineering team to develop the technical requirements and capabilities necessary to support integration of joint service IAMD systems, implementing capabilities required by the Geographic Combatant Commands and the Services. Provides modeling, simulation and analysis of cross-Service kill chains using high-fidelity software-in-the-loop program office system representations. Analyzes, assesses, and translates identified Engagement Coordination Initial Capability Document requirements in to technical requirements for implementation within Services and Agency programs to improve Engagement Coordination and implement advanced fire control capabilities across the Joint Integrated Air and Missile Defense kill-chain. This effort includes systems engineering analysis, development of technical and interface control requirements and documents, definition of candidate Joint IAMD increments, development and demonstration of candidate Joint IAMD capabilities, IAMD M&S model improvements, support for Wargames and exercises, and support for configuration control across the joint systems. IAMD provides capabilities to improve performance such as an improved Joint air picture and advanced Joint Combat Identification (CID) to enable engagement coordination, decision making, increase battlespace, and improve track continuity. These improvements and capabilities will enable right sensor to right shooter functionality across the Joint Services. Additional efforts will address critical joint Command and Control and interoperability needs such as Joint Tactical Integrated Fire Control (JTIFC) and the development of a Joint Integrated Fire Controls (IFC) Network to enable the capability to provide fire control quality data from the right sensor to the right shooter to engage the right target; this includes ensuring that all activities are in alignment with the Joint All Domain Command and Control (JADC2) efforts. Other efforts include the development of an IAMD Operational Architecture, development of Advanced Tracker Capabilities (Advanced Track Filters and Advanced Data Association algorithms) to defend against advanced threats, Automated Battle Management Aides (ABMAs) to support Engagement Coordination and Sensor/Weapon resource management. The IAMD Technical Authority also supports USCENTCOM with the integration of Counter - Unmanned Aerial Systems (C-UAS) capabilities into the IAMD architecture. Recurring activities include: - Continue integration of Navy Cooperative Engagement Capability (CEC) & Army Integrated Fire Control Network (IFCN) via JTMC Bridge, and demonstration in increasingly realistic environments and scenarios. - Continue to advance improvements in combat identification integration and interoperability among Joint Integrated Air and Missile Defense systems and to start the implementation of these advanced capabilities across the Army, Navy, Air Force and Marine Corps systems - Enhance Models and Simulations (M&S) to support participation in annual Nimble Fire exercises - Continue engineering activities supporting critical Joint Command and Control and interoperability needs - Work within JADC2 Working Groups and Integrated Product Teams to ensure IAMD Technical Authority efforts are in alignment and compatible with the direction of the other Services with respect to JADC2 capabilities Specific and/or unique accomplishments to each FY are as follows:
