Pentagon acquisition chief Ellen Lord has green-lit production of the US Army’s new battle command system, Department of Defense (DoD) and service officials told Janes on 13 January.
Lord formally approved Milestone C for the service’s Integrated Battle Command System (IBCS) just days before she is set to step down on 20 January. The decision enables the army to award a production contract for the Northrop Grumman-developed system. If all goes as planned, the system could be ready for initial operational test and evaluation around mid-2021.
IBCS uses multiple sensors and effectors to extend the ‘battlespace’, provide soldiers with 360° protection, increase survivability by enabling early detection and continuous tracking, and defeat a complex threat set. More specifically, the network connects army radars, combines their targeting data, and passes on that data to whichever launcher is best suited to take a shot against a target.
