The US Army is creating a single integrated air defense and missile defense system IBCS

The US Army intends to improve command and control by improving its radar detection of both ground and air targets. Thus, the integrated air defense and missile defense combat control system (IBCS), developed by the American military-industrial company Northrop Grumman, as stated, will allow repelling an enemy attack in real time. A single integrated air defense system is planned to be created by combining IBCS with the system weapons ground-based IFPC Increment 2 (capable of shooting down cruise missiles) and a low-level air defense-missile defense sensor (LTAMDS).

According to Brigadier General Frank Lozano, who is responsible for the implementation of this rocket and space program, the tests will be carried out at the White Sands rocket range in New Mexico. According to him, they will take place no earlier than the end of 2024.



LTAMDS is expected to provide 360-degree airspace monitoring, while IFPC Increment 2 will protect US missile systems from rockets, mortars, cruise missiles and UAVs.

For us, this event is long-awaited and important in terms of bringing our air and missile defense units to a whole new level.

Lozano said in his speech at the International Defense Industry Exhibition organized by the US Army Association (AUSA).

At the same time, representatives of the American army emphasized that IBCS is designed to establish direct communication with the shooter on the battlefield, using any radar.

By the way, within the next year, the US Army expects the delivery of the first 16 launchers under the IFPC program.

    Northrop Grumman, as stated, will allow you to repel an enemy attack in real time.
    . You can say anything, but in reality it turns out ... maybe it won't work out, in general.
    The question is, how much ball and other resources will be sent to this business ???
    And again, what will be the result?

      They revised the real capabilities of their air defense in relation to UAVs and cruise missiles. This is where the desires come from. The day is near when drug cartels and other paramilitary groups in Latin America will begin to actively use UAVs for their own purposes.

    The United States is well behind the Russian Federation in matters of missile defense. There was no need to withdraw from the contract.

    And someone said that the World Revolution and the State Planning Commission is a utopia! And then you watch the news and bam! The ideas of the world revolution-globalization are in full bloom! The ideas of the State Planning Commission have grown to the ideas of World Planning! A straight white and fluffy animal walks by leaps and bounds around the World! Where is the laugh about it?

      What are you talking about? And how is the monitoring of airspace and the protection of missile systems linked to the world revolution and the state plan?

    Yes, in Russia we have big problems with modern noise-resistant, encrypted communications, satellite reconnaissance, and a network-centric command and control system.
    But even 30 years ago, the USSR was a pioneer in these areas.
    How we have degraded in the last 30 years!
