WASHINGTON: The U.S. Army’s missile defense network, IBCS, successfully shot down a cruise missile at White Sands Missile Range, bringing together sources from F-35As, Navy Coordinated Engagement (CEC) capability, Marine Corps G/ATOR radar, and PAC-3 anti-missile batteries data are tied together.
Incorporating enhanced Electronic attack, combining the role of the pod with a more robust ground system, marks a major achievement for the U.S. Army’s IBCS. If the Pentagon goes to war with China or Russia, it will need to overcome the chaos and confusion that electronic attack can create, since both adversaries place a high value on electronic attack capabilities.
Mark Lister of IBCS manufacturer Northrop Grumman explained that the effort involved electronic attack (EA) countermeasures against the radars participating in the test, whereas previous tests were conducted against the communication system that bound the IBCS to its sensors . Lister is the program director for the Northrop Missile Defense Network.

The trials included several other firsts, including an F-35 that shared data to the Army’s IBCS and then field fired PAC-3 missiles to destroy cruise missiles. Two F-35s flew during a reduced risk test in preparation for the initial operational test and evaluation of the system this fall.
IBCS is being promoted by Northrop as a core system for the U.S. Army, contributing to joint all-domain command and control, one of the cores of all-domain operations, America’s new way of warfare.
Today’s test demonstrated the Joint Tracking Management Capability (JTMC) for the first time. This allows IBCS and CEC to share G/ATOR radar data, Northrop Grumman said in a press release. Two Army Sentinel radars were also part of the test.
What this all proved for Flight 6 of the IBCS test (technically the sixth, it was actually the eighth) is that the IBCS can really and truly connect with previously incompatible systems and make any command post on the network different Different types of radar for location acquire high fidelity data.

“The integration of additional sensors from multiple services continues to demonstrate the strength inherent in the IBCS architecture and design,” Christine Harbison, vice president of Northrop Combat Systems and Mission Readiness, said in a statement. , capable of integrating and integrating joint sensors across multiple domains. By enabling joint operations and utilizing multiple sensors to operate in different frequency bands, IBCS is able to operate through an electronic attack environment so soldiers can identify, track, and ultimately intercept threats.
Here’s how Northrop describes the missile defense system: “IBCS enables efficient and cost-effective integration of current and future systems, including those deployed on IP-enabled networks, anti-UAS systems, 4th and 5th generation aircraft, space-based sensors, and more. Asset. It senses, identifies, tracks, and defeats evolving air and missile threats, enabling revolutionary “all-domain, per-sensor, best-effects” operations.
