Army Integrated Air and Missile Defense System Achieves Full Rate Production<\/h2>\n
\n

HUNTSVILLE, Ala. \u2014 The Integrated Fires Mission Command Project Office, under Program Executive Office Missiles and Space, announced that the Army\u2019s Integrated Battle Command System received a successful full rate production Defense Acquisition Board decision on April 10.<\/p>\n

This major milestone for the Integrated Battle Command System, or IBCS, follows completion of initial operational test and evaluation, which concluded in October 2022.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cIBCS is the Army\u2019s top air and missile defense modernization effort and the only Army acquisition category 1D program with the Defense Acquisition Executive, Dr. William LaPlante, as the milestone decision authority,\u201d said Col. Chris Hill, project manager of the Integrated Fires Mission Command Project Office in Huntsville. \u201cNavigating a successful [full rate production Defense Acquisition Board decision] is truly a monumental accomplishment for the collective team. Our Soldiers\u2019 and civilians\u2019 dedication, expertise and collaboration with industry and the stakeholder community has paved the way for a more effective and coordinated capability against complex air and missile threats that will serve our Army and joint force for decades to come.\u201d<\/p>\n

IBCS executed a diverse range of rigorous testing on its path to achieving FRP. Testing and evaluation proved the system\u2019s capability to integrate a variety of sensors and effectors to work together under an integrated command and control system. IBCS is a key component of the Army\u2019s broader modernization efforts and provides transformational air and missile defense capabilities.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Army is proving it can and will succeed with its modernization plans as we continue to build momentum for the future,\u201d said Brig. Gen. Frank Lozano, Program Executive Officer, Missiles and Space. \u201cThe sensor and effector integration this program brings to air and missile defense will ensure that our warfighters are best equipped to provide air defense against enemy threats. The success of this program is a testament to the incredible talent and capability of the Soldiers, civilians and industry partners whose work ensures the safety and security of our nation.\u201d<\/p>\n
