Northrop Grumman Corporation (NYSE: NOC) has launched a trainer to teach Polish soldiers how to use the Integrated Battle Command System (IBCS). The system, delivered two years ahead of schedule, will enable Poland to quickly field the transformational integrated command and control capabilities of IBCS. Poland is the first U.S. ally to field IBCS.
"Coupling our innovative individual skills trainer with IBCS creates a complete package for the U.S. Army and allies to prepare them for tomorrow's multi-domain battlefield," said Rebecca Torzone, vice president and general manager, combat systems and mission readiness, Northrop Grumman. "With this IBCS package, Poland is modernizing their air and missile defense forces to enhance the safety and security of their country for years to come."
Known as Air Defense Reconfigurable Trainer (ART), the Northrop Grumman training system hosts a wide range of materials and is configurable to support multiple missions. Built using training material developed for the U.S. Army's new equipment training, ART allows the end user to augment in-person training as well as conduct self-paced sustainment training. This accelerates training speed and efficiency while simultaneously reducing potential cost.
Northrop Grumman field service representatives traveled to Poland and completed installation of ART at the Polish air defense school. Train-the-trainer events were also underway at Redstone Arsenal, Alabama allowing Northrop Grumman's training capability to aid Polish soldiers in their understanding of IBCS.
IBCS implements a modular, open and scalable architecture that is foundational to integrating available assets in the battlespace, regardless of source, service or domain, onto common fire control network. It extends the battlespace by disaggregating sensors and effectors, and allows for the efficient and affordable integration of future systems. By enabling this high level of network integration, the warfighter is given unprecedented time to make accurate decisions.
Artificial Intelligence Analysis
AI is tasked to make a SBIR draft to DARPA. It is stunning. Please enjoy. Objectives: Northrop Grumman Corporation has launched a trainer to teach Polish soldiers how to use the Integrated Battle Command System (IBCS). This trainer is known as Air Defense Reconfigurable Trainer (ART). It is configurable to support multiple missions and is built using training material developed for the U.S. Armys new equipment training.
Current
State-of-the-Art and Limitations: ART accelerates training speed and efficiency while simultaneously reducing potential cost. Northrop Grumman field service representatives have traveled to Poland and completed installation of ART at the Polish air defense school. Train the trainer events were also underway at Redstone Arsenal, Alabama, allowing Northrop Grummans training capability to aid Polish soldiers in their understanding of IBCS. However, IBCS is complex and requires comprehensive training to enable efficient and affordable integration of future systems.
Whats New in the Approach and Why It Will Succeed: Northrop Grummans Air Defense Reconfigurable Trainer (ART) provides a unique approach to prepare Polish soldiers to use the Integrated Battle Command System (IBCS). ART is configurable to support multiple missions and provides training material developed for the U.S. Armys new equipment training. This enables the end user to augment in person training as well as conduct self paced sustainment training. This accelerates training speed and efficiency while simultaneously reducing potential cost.
