The first one was maybe just an undergraduate level,\u201d Todorov told Defense News.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The second checkout was a live-air exercise which took place over three weeks in October at Yuma Proving Ground, Arizona, and involved soldiers from Fort Sill, Oklahoma, and a task force with the Marine Corps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><i>[<a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/digital-show-dailies\/ausa\/2017\/10\/09\/soldier-test-of-anti-missile-command-system-deemed-a-success\/\" class=\"selected-link\" title=\"\" data-original-title=\"\" style=\"\">Soldier test of anti-missile command system deemed a success<\/a>]<br><\/i><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Fort Sill soldiers used Northrop\u2019s Integrated Air and Missile Defense Battle Command System, or IBCS \u2014 being developed for the U.S. Army\u2019s future Integrated Air and Missile Defense system \u2014 to direct Army air and missile defense sensors and weapons in \u201ccomplex, multi-domain air defense operations,\u201d according to a company statement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Todorov said Yuma Proving Ground provided a \u201crealistic environment\u201d for the system to be put through its paces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The checkout included maintaining tracks on objects when sensors working alone are unable and could discern dozens of airborne platforms from unmanned aircraft systems, fighter aircraft, attack helicopters, attack aircraft, tankers, early warning aircraft, tilt-rotor aircraft and electronic attack aircraft, and then tag them as friend or foe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI think this SCOE II did really take things to the next level in complexity and the different kinds of tracks, different speeds, different altitudes,\u201d Todorov said. \u201cIf there was any doubt in our mind that we had addressed this software, you know the software was going to perform beautifully in a complex environment.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The checkout proved that IBCS will not only be an effective system for the U.S. Army, but as a joint asset and \u2014 as is the case with Poland, which is planning to buy IBCS to beef up its defenses against Russia \u2014 will prove effective against adversaries that are equipped to bring complexity to the battlefield, according to Todorov.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><i>[<a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/top-100\/2016\/09\/06\/poland-wants-patriot-with-different-battle-command-system\/\" class=\"\" title=\"\">Poland Wants Patriot With Different Battle Command System<\/a>]<br><\/i><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The second soldier checkout also proved IBCS can maintain a complete picture of the battlefield even when sensors and weapons systems networked into the system are under electronic attack or down for another reason.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There were \u201ca lot of electronic attack elements that were put to the test,\u201d Todorov said, including sensors being shut down due to simulated electronic attack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThrough the use of IBCS, because we were now linking feeds and tracks from different sensors, if another sensor wasn\u2019t subject to that sort of element of the attack, it would maintain situational awareness on either the threat or the asset,\u201d Todorov explained. \u201cSo sort of proving the value of this networked, open architecture approach.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">IBCS showed it has the ability to \u201cmaintain the picture for the war fighter, which is really the exciting part for me as someone who\u2019s been out in a [combined air operations center] in a joint fight and watching the air defense commander try to struggle with systems that would go down either in an exercise or sometimes real world if there was spoofing going on, and now this system lets you work around that,\u201d Todorov said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Todorov retired from his military career when he was deputy director of the U.S. Missile Defense Agency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The test, again, proved out ease-of-use of the system. Some soldiers from the first checkout in August participated, but some new soldiers were brought in and rapidly trained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The next IBCS milestone is another soldier checkout expected in the spring that will continue to test the system in different mission threads.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The second soldier checkout of IBCS
