U.S. Army’s Air & Missile Defense Capability Enters Low Rate Initial Production Our Bureau 5410
Engagement Operations Centers (EOC) and Integrated Fire Control Network relays (IFCN) were delivered to U.S. Army for tests
Northrop Grumman Integrated Air and Missile Defense Battle Command System (IBCS), developed in partnership with the U.S. Army, has received authorization to proceed with low rate initial production (LRIP) following a successful Milestone C decision for the program.
This milestone, approved by the Department of Defense, represents a critical next step in moving the program closer to future deployment.
“The decision by our senior leaders to transition IBCS from development into initial production reflects their confidence in the maturity of the system and its readiness for operational testing to inform Initial Operational Capability,” said Maj. Gen. Rob Rasch, Army Program Executive Officer, Missiles and Space.
