The US State Department approved a possible $15 billion sale of an Integrated Air and Missile Defense Battle Command System and related equipment to Poland, the US Defense Security Cooperation Agency said Wednesday.
Northrop Grumman's Integrated Air and Missile Defense Battle Command System demonstrated a crucial Joint All-Domain Command and Control capability as part of several future operational scenarios at Project Convergence 21.
“This is a journey to see what s possible, what can we do with today s technologies, for a relatively minor cost,” Gen. John Murray told us. “Project Convergence ’20 cost us about the same thing as one Combat Training Center rotation” $23 million.
