Joint Integrated Air & Missile Defense (IAMD)

Integrated Air & Missile Defense (IAMD) continues to evolve from organic sensor-shooter systems to networked sensing, decision tools, and weapon elements that can support integrated fire control. These capabilities can expand the defended battlespace; accommodate multiple engagement conditions by improving defense capability against a full spectrum of threats to include cruise missiles, ballistic missiles, and aircraft, and to extend the radar horizon limitations. This topic will cover all aspects of these areas including:

• IAMD system architectures;
• IAMD System interoperability and integration;
• Critical integrated fire control enablers including coherent air picture, timely and assured CID, and threat discrimination;
• IAMD operational planning;
• And, command and control challenges and solutions.
