Poland is exploring integrating Northrop Grumman’s IBCS command and control system with the short-range elements of its multi-layer air defence network as it seeks to accelerate delivery of the capability.
Polish defence conglomerate PGZ and the country’s Armament Agency have organised a trilateral meeting with Northrop Grumman and MBDA representatives to discus possible integration of the latter’s CAMM missile and its iLauncher with the IBCS command system used with the Polish Armed Forces’ Patriot missile system.
This is the second such meeting.
In mid-May Northrop Grumman announced that first key elements of IBCS for the Polish Wisła medium-range air defence programme, as well as AN/MPQ-65 radars and Patriot PAC-3 MSE missiles, had been delivered.
