### Project 146 — Air & Msl Defense Planning Control Sys

This funding line is a key enabler of the Army Modernization Priorities in support of Air and Missile Defense. The Air Missile Defense Planning and Control System (AMDPCS) provides integration of air and missile defense operations at all echelons. AMDPCS is comprised of the following major subsystems: Air Missile Defense Work Station (AMDWS) ensures updated interfaces for interoperability between Air Defense and the rest of the force, allowing the Commander the visibility and situational understanding of the airspace; tools in AMDWS afford Soldiers horizontal and vertical collaborative planning with adjacent units. Common Data Link Interface-Module (CDLI-M) serves as a joint tactical datalink gateway/air picture. Forward Area Air Defense (FAAD), correlates the joint and local air picture and when displayed on AMDWS, provides a near real time, three-dimensional air picture for the Commander. Joint Tactical Terminal (JTT) provides Soldiers Theater Ballistic Missile (TBM) early warning allowing them to take appropriate actions. AMDPCS are currently fielded to Army Air and Missile Defense Commands (AAMDC), Air Defense Artillery Brigades, (ADA BDE), Air and Missile Defense Battalions (AMD BN) and Terminal High Altitude Area Defense Batteries (THAAD BTRY). Air Defense Airspace Management (ADAM), a variant of AMDPCS, are fielded to Corps, Divisions, Brigade Combat Teams (BCTs) and multi-functional support brigades. AMDPCS is being procured to support Maneuver Short Range Air Defense (M-SHORAD) growth. As part of the capability and technology reuse, AMDWS external interfaces are being leveraged by Integrated Battle Command System (IBCS) to avoid redevelopment of existing capabilities. AMDWS, CDLI-M, and FAAD are core components of the Air and Missile Defense system-of-systems currently deployed in combat zones. FY 2027 funds support development, cyber security compliance, net-readiness and certification of CDLI-M and FAAD software, as well as accreditation of AMDPCS family-of-systems shelters and software.

## Mission & acquisition strategy

The Air Missile Defense Planning and Control System (AMDPCS) FY 2027 funding request of $14.276 million provides integration of air and missile defense operations at all echelons. Specifically, the Air and Missile Defense Work Station (AMDWS) provides a correlated air picture using local radars, allowing the Commander the visibility and situational understanding of the airspace; automated defense design and staff planning tools in AMDWS allow Soldiers horizontal and vertical collaborative planning with adjacent units.

The acquisition strategy relies primarily on Non-Developmental Item (NDI) integration efforts. The primary intent of the AMDPCS program is to take the best available governmental and commercial technologies and integrate them into a seamless Command and Control (C2) program to provide common tools for airspace situational awareness, and command and control for all Army Air Defense units at all echelons. Also, to continue development, testing, and certification of AMDWS and FAAD software, and ensure accreditation of AMDPCS shelter configurations and software until convergence with the Integrated Air & Missile Defense (IAMD) Battle Command System (IBCS).
