Presenting in Huntsville

A number of missile defense contractors are showcasing their wares this week in Huntsville, AL, at the annual Space and Missile Defense Symposium.

Among them, Northrop Grumman said this week that in its most recent flight test, the Integrated Air and Missile Defense (IAMD) Battle Command System (IBCS) successfully used sensors and interceptors from different air defense systems, selecting from different missile types to defeat multiple threats arriving at the same time.

"The IBCS is key to a revolutionized IAMD and crucial to the Army vision for an IAMD command and control capability across all echelons and AMD assets," a Northrop statement reads.
