Army IBCS Tracks & Destroys Two Drones & Cruise Missile Simultaneously

By SOFREP,

Imagine a defense system so smart it can connect radar systems, fighter jets, and missile interceptors that weren’t even built to work together.

That’s exactly what the US Army’s Integrated Battle Command System (IBCS) is designed to do, and its latest trial proved it’s a game-changer.

During a recent showcase, Northrop Grumman demonstrated IBCS’ ability to track and destroy highly maneuverable drone and cruise missile targets, leaving little doubt that this system is the future of air and missile defense.

The Trial: A Big Win for IBCS

In the latest test, the IBCS teamed up with the Army’s Indirect Fire Protection Capability (IFPC) system to take on two surrogate drones and a representative cruise missile threat.

The system detected, tracked, and engaged the targets with pinpoint accuracy.

According to Kenn Todorov, Northrop’s vice president for global battle management and readiness, the trial highlighted how seamlessly the IBCS integrates sensors and weapon systems to ensure reliable threat neutralization.

“With IBCS’ innovative, game-changing technology, the US Army can test emerging systems like IFPC that will help modernize air and missile defense … allowing the most effective weapon to take out the threat,” Todorov explained in a statement released on Monday, December 9.
