The capability creates additional battlespace awareness, and the ability to track incoming targets and take action, if necessary,\u201d Scott Arnold, Lockheed\u2019s deputy of integrated air and missile defense, said in the statement. \u201cThe F-35, with its advanced sensors and connectivity, is able to gather and seamlessly share critical information, enabling greater joint force protection and a higher level of lethality of Army IAMD forces.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But the demonstration isn\u2019t only about the F-35\u2032s ability to contribute as a sensor in the air and missile defense architecture, but also about the IBCS\u2019 ability to bring in sensor data from a variety of platforms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThis is another example of the power of IBCS\u2019 open architecture design, which enables the integration of any sensor to any effector in any domain. Any sensor, any effector, any domain: This is the future of the U.S. Army\u2019s fight,\u201d Northrop Grumman\u2019s Dan Verwiel, vice president and general manager of missile defense and protective systems, said in a statement sent to Defense News.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The IBCS was originally developed as the brains of the Army\u2019s future air and missile defense system, but its potential mission continues to grow as the service works to tie other sensors to IBCS to create a layered defense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The service is also working to tie in radars and sensors for its Indirect Fire Protection Capability as well as its Maneuver Short-Range Air Defense system. The idea now is for the IBCS to tie into any sensor or shooter the Army brings into its framework.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The F-35 ground station has been sent to White Sands Missile Range, New Mexico, to continue F-35 integration testing during IAMD developmental testing.<\/p>\n\n\n\t<aside class=\"smg-interstitial-link wp-block-smg-interstitial-link\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/defensenews\/land\/2018\/03\/02\/growing-mission-for-future-army-battle-command-system-accounts-for-delays\/\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__media\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/PatriotKadena.jpg.jpg?w=300\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__image wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__content\">\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"smg-interstitial-link__kicker\">Related<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"smg-interstitial-link__title\">Growing mission for future Army battle command system accounts for delays<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"smg-interstitial-link__excerpt\">The Army&#039;s Integrated Battle Command System&#039;s mission is growing, and it&#039;s unlikely the service will be able to shore up a now four-year initial operational capability schedule delay.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/aside>\n\t\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Army\u2019s IBCS program <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/congress\/budget\/2017\/05\/25\/us-army-anti-missile-command-systems-initial-capability-delayed-four-years\/\" target=_blank>experienced delays<\/a> as it added capabilities to its defensive framework to protect against everything from ballistic missiles and cruise missiles to unmanned aircraft to rockets, artillery and mortars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But it is now the top priority for the Army\u2019s cross-functional team dedicated to air and missile defense. The team is tasked with modernizing capabilities under Army Futures Command.
