White Sands Missile Range, N.M. - The U.S. Army’s Program Executive Office Missiles and Space Integrated Fires Mission Command and the 3rd Battalion\, 43rd Air Defense Artillery Regiment\, successfully used the Integrated Battle Command System to conduct a missile flight test on Oct. 2\, 2025. The test demonstrated the Army’s advanced capabilities in countering air and missile threats in a contested environment.
This missile flight test was the culmination of the IBCS Follow-On Operational Test and Evaluation. The test demonstrated IBCS’s ability to execute the kill chain against two maneuvering cruise missiles in a contested environment. Using IBCS, Soldiers from the 3-43 ADA Battalion tracked the incoming threat, identified the hostile missiles, and neutralized both targets with two first-interceptor kills.
The IBCS has changed how the Army defends against emerging air and missile threats. The system operates on an "any-sensor, best-weapon" principle. It integrates real-time data from a diverse array of sensors to create a unified battlespace picture. This capability optimizes weapon employment, enhances resilience under attack, and ensures rapid response to evolving threats.
The test is further proof of the Army’s commitment to advancing its air and missile defense capabilities to meet the challenges of modern warfare. The Army continues to ensure the readiness and effectiveness of its forces in defending against complex and dynamic threats with cutting-edge technologies like the IBCS. # # #
