4. IBCS Overview The Army Integrated Air and Missile Defense (AIAMD) System of Systems (ASoS) integrates current and future sensors, weapons, and their respective Command and Control (C2) into a networked Air and Missile Defense (AMD) system. The materiel solution for the ASoS C2 is the IAMD Battle Command System (IBCS).

IBCS provides the net-centric, Plug and Fight (P&F), System of Systems (SoS) Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (C4ISR) capability of the IAMD architecture. IBCS consists of two Major End Items (MEIs): the Engagement Operations Center (EOC) and the IBCS Integrated Fire Control Network (IFCN) Relay. The IBCS EOC provides C4ISR functions at battalion (BN) and battery (BTRY) echelons within the AMD Task Force (TF). Both the IBCS EOC and the IBCS IFCN Relay have a P&F B- Kit that enables IAMD weapon and sensor components to fight in the net-centric ASoS.

Components to be integrated on the IFCN develop an A-Kit to connect to the IBCS B-Kit. The A- Kit provides the component specific details needed to adapt the sensor or weapon to the A/B Interface specification. Northrop Grumman produces the IBCS EOC and the IBCS IFCN Relay which draw from a set of common software modules that provide track management, engagement operations, interface services (both human and machine), planning, training and supporting software infrastructural needs. IAMD weapon and sensor program offices provide the unique hardware and software items used for integration of their system’s A-Kit with the B- Kit. In addition, Northrop Grumman is developing the IFCN that integrates IBCS MEIs and ASoS-enabled sensors and weapons into a cohesive, network-centric task force.

The OV1- High Level Operational Concept, as defined by the Training and Doctrine Command (TRADOC) Capability Manager (TCM), is shown in Figure 1-1, and includes IBCS, Lower Tier Project Office (LTPO) sensors and weapons, Cruise Missile Defense Systems (CMDS) Project Office sensors and weapons, as well as the IFCN.

1-7

Figure A1-1. OV-1 High Level Operational Concept

The IBCS architecture enhances the Warfighter’s ability to execute AMD battle command. By modernizing command and control, the kinematic capabilities of all weapons and detection and tracking envelopes of all sensors can be fully utilized. By establishing and invoking the common standards sought by the Joint IAMD, the vision of a truly joint IAMD is realized. This innovative approach at modernization reduces manpower, enhances training, and reduces operation and support cost while at the same time providing a more robust and effective AMD.

5. IBCS EOC Configurations EOCs are configurable facilities used by ASoS commanders to control platoon, battery/battery team, and battalion/battalion task force operations and to conduct staff activities. Configurable EOCs support commanders confronting changing situations and requirements of different operations. EOCs are configurable to support operations from platoon- to battalion-sized task forces.

An EOC is used as a battalion, battery, platoon, gateway, controlling, or subordinate unit in the task force on any given day. For example, an EOC can be configured as a battalion one day and as a battery the next day as needed to support the Task Force. A controlling EOC can transfer control to another EOC or share control with an EOC at a different location or echelon.

Table A1-1 details the EOC configurations in an ASoS task force.

UNCLASSIFIED / For Official Use Only 1-8

In addition to the configurations described in Table A1-1, an EOC uses the internal B-Side software to function as a P&F B-Kit. The B-Side functionality built into the EOC provides the commander with additional flexibility in the deployment of sensors and weapons.

Table A1-1. EOC Configuration Descriptions

EOC Configuration Description

Battalion EOC

IBCS assets configured for Battalion operations. The Battalion EOC is comprised of two EOCs, each integrated with an Air- Supported Tent and the associated hardware to support those facilities. EOCs designated as the Battalion have the capability to perform Battalion operations. This functionality can be transferred to other EOCs at any point in time as long as the required personnel and hardware to perform the necessary Battalion functions are available at that EOC.

Battery EOC IBCS assets configured for Battery operations. The Battery EOC is comprised of one EOC integrated with one Air- Supported Tent and the associated hardware to support those facilities. EOCs designated as the Battery have the capability to perform Battery operations. This functionality can be transferred to other EOCs at any point in time as long as the required personnel and hardware to perform the necessary Battery functions are available at that EOC

Platoon EOC

IBCS assets configured for Platoon operations. The Platoon EOC is comprised of one EOC and the associated hardware to support those facilities. EOCs designated as the Platoon have the capability to perform Platoon operations. This functionality can be transferred to other EOCs at any point in time as long as the required personnel and hardware to perform the necessary Platoon functions are available at that EOC.

Gateway EOC EOC that has been designated as the Gateway for the Task Force. This EOC communicates with external entities and the GIG. This assignment can be given to multiple EOCs depending on the tactical situation. For example, one EOC could receive and distribute the Link 16 data from external sources. Another EOC could be receiving and reporting information from the Higher Echelon. The Gateway EOC provides the data it receives to the Task Force.

Controlling EOC The EOC that has been designated to control another EOC or ASoS component. The Controlling EOC determines what the subordinate EOC or component can do. Often the Controlling EOC may have Fire Control authority. The Controlling EOC can have direct control where it is providing all of the commands as well as the control, or it may designate control of certain activities to the subordinate unit.

EOC Configuration Description

Subordinate EOC The EOC that has been designated as a subordinate EOC to another EOC. This EOC can be receiving direct commands or can be designated to perform certain activities by the Controlling EOC.

6. IBCS Geodetic Registration (GR) Theory of Operation Geodetic Registration (GR) is an IBCS process used to determine the bias between sensor measurements and true track locations; the system then uses this data to correct for error covariance. IBCS performs composite tracking of air vehicles (FWs, RWs, CMs) and ballistic missiles, at both high and low elevation angles, which is difficult to attain using only cooperating air vehicles and mutual targets. Without credible registration data, registration errors can cause IBCS to have difficulty discriminating between a TBM and debris produced during TBM stage separations. This is particularly true in situations where there is high debris close in proximity and velocity to the TBM.

IBCS GR performs the sensor measurements bias estimation and compensation processing on the B-Kit side at the sensor Plug & Fight (P&F) kits. This bias estimation and compensation processing consists of:

● Estimating and correcting for biases in sensor platform location.

● Estimating and correcting for all applicable parameters in IBCS’s standard sensor bias model for each aperture providing spatial measurements.

● Correcting for tropospheric refraction biases in slant range and stabilized elevation (unless already corrected on the A-Kit side).

● Continuously performing GR and regularly updating the solutions.

IBCS GR then distributes the bias estimate produced for each participating ASoS sensor aperture for the following uses:

● Correcting track report spatial/kinematic data from A-Kit.

● Correcting spatial measurement data from A-Kit sensors.

● Mathematically accounting for the residual error in the bias parameter estimates when performing kinematic data association and filtering.

● Pre-biasing IBCS composite/global tracks sent to the A-Kit into biased from of the intended sensor aperture.

● Determining whether or not the biases of a participating sensor aperture exceed bias alert thresholds.

a. Sources and Effects of Registration Errors The registration errors that IBCS GR corrects occur for a number of reasons, including, but not limited to:

● Sensor platform attitude and location errors

● Aperture orientation/mounting errors

● Lever arm errors

UNCLASSIFIED / For Official Use Only 1-10

● Systemic errors

○ Monopulse processing biases

○ Timing errors

○ Range-Doppler coupling coefficient (range rate-dependent bias)

○ Thermal expansion of the aperture and physically unknown processes leading to scan-dependent monopulse biases

● Tropospheric refraction (causes bias for stabilized range and elevation measurements)

● Human error

● Mode C altitude biases

b. IBCS GR Approach IBCS GR uses a bias model to generate integrated sensor registration (SR) and navigation registration (NR) solutions. IBCS GR initiates a “warm” bias estimation process using a characterization of either the long-term or short-term behavior of the sensor bias. These characterizations are referred to as priors.

Figure A1-2 shows the effects sensor registration (SR) and navigation registration (NR) biases can have on a common ABT track in an IBCS composite network.

Figure A1-2. Effects of Registration Errors

UNCLASSIFIED / For Official Use Only 1-11

In additions to priors, IBCS GR can also use the Cooperative Air Targets (CTBGR) or Mutual Target Tracking Algorithm (MTBGR) estimation processes. CTBGRs are friendly aircraft that perform infrequent and/or benign maneuvers while tracked by the sensors.

The data from the sensors is compared to target-provided self-reports (e.g., PPLIs, Mode S, etc.) to estimate sensor measurement bias(es). MTBGR takes that corrected data and employs it into the cooperative air target scheme. MTBGR is a fallback approach for situations where the availability of friendly aircraft for the CTBGR process is limited. The optimal approach is to fuse the data from multiple estimation processes and exploit the inherent strengths of each.

For the purposes of IBCS GR, the following GR bias component states are considered relevant:

● Measurement biases

○ Range offset

○ Range scale factor

○ Range rate offset

○ Azimuth plus heading/yaw offset*,**

○ Azimuth sine and cosine coefficient bias parameters

○ Elevation offset

○ Elevation scale factor

● Attitude/orientation biases

○ Roll/clocking offset**

○ Pitch/tilt offset**

● Position/location biases

○ Latitude offset

○ Longitude offset

○ Altitude offset

● Time stamp offset

* Azimuth bias is not separately observable from the heading/yaw offset bias in the estimation process.

**Platform attitude and aperture orientation biases are combined into a single rotational correction.

c. GR Estimation Initiation with Long-Term and Short-Term Priors IBCS GR uses priors to initiate the bias estimation process because certain bias parameter values for a given sensor are expected to be very similar each time that sensor is started/restarted after relocation.

UNCLASSIFIED / For Official Use Only 1-12

GR bias estimation can be initiated using system default priors (zero state, non-zero covariance), long-term priors, or short-term priors. Long-term priors are computed using a recursive formulation to mathematically blend an extended history of fused GR estimates from each set-up event or restart after maintenance of the sensor. Short-term priors consist of a few minutes’ worth of fused GR estimates and used for GR restart.

Besides the capture of long-term and short-term registration behavior, the use of priors benefits IBCS by allowing the registration process to initiate with a credible bias estimate, therefore reducing the time required to compute new bias states. This “warm” start capability is an advantage when there is a limited amount of data available with which to compute a new bias estimate.

The method of GR bias estimation initiation is selected by the operator.

● If no method of GR bias estimation initiation is selected, short-term priors are used. When this occurs, the short-term prior must be less than a week old.

● If no method of GR bias estimation initiation is selected and no short-term priors less than a week old are available, long-term priors are used.

● If no long-term or short-term priors are available, a default GR prior is used.

The operator may re-initialize the GR bias estimation process using any type of prior (default, short-term, long-term) at any time. When an operator selects a prior for a sensor bias estimate (re)initialization, it does not affect the content of the prior database.

UNCLASSIFIED / For Official Use Only 1-16

4. Electrical Shock Safety Guidelines and Hazards

a. Do not service alone.

Never work on equipment unless there is another person nearby who is familiar with the operation and hazards of the equipment and who can administer first aid.

b. Use only one hand.

(1) Whenever possible, use only one hand to service electrical equipment.

(2) Keep the other hand away from the electrical equipment to reduce hazard of current flowing through vital organs of the body.

c. Ground the equipment.

(1) Before connecting primary power cables, connect the grounding cable from the ground lug to earth ground.

(2) Do not remove grounding cables until signal cables and primary power cables have been disconnected and generator has been shut down.

(3) Ensure the Surface Wire Grounding Kit (SWGK) is installed before operating the EOC MEI or IFCN Relay.

(4) To avoid possible shock, do not remove grounding cables until signal cables and primary power cables have been disconnected.

(5) Ground the body to discharge static electricity by using a static discharge bracelet.

d. Avoid the power input.

(1) Be careful not to contact 120 VAC input connections when installing or servicing equipment.

(2) Remove power to outlet before unplugging equipment.

(3) When possible, shut off power supply to equipment before beginning work on equipment.

(4) Turn off power when working inside equipment.

(5) The term “low voltage” is misleading. Low voltages can cause serious injury or death.

5. High Wind Warning

WARNING: Failure to properly emplace and stake the IBCS Air-Supported Tent can result in death or serious injury in the event of high winds.

CAUTION: In the event of high winds, failure to properly emplace and stake the Air-Supported Tents can result in severe damage to equipment, and/or loss of equipment and the mission.

a. When properly staked, IBCS Air-Supported Tents are rated to withstand sustained wind speeds of 55 mph, and wind gusts not exceeding 65 mph.

UNCLASSIFIED / For Official Use Only 1-17

b. Always follow proper procedures when emplacing and staking tents.

(1) Use one tent stake per staking plate, wind line, and grommet on end caps.

(2) Completely close all entrances to prevent wind from entering and lifting the tents.

(3) Stake tents in firm, dry soil. Staking tents in loose, sandy, or saturated soils reduces the ability of the tent to withstand wind.

(4) When wind conditions exceed stated expectations, disassembling and securely storing tents is recommended. Prior to taking this action, consider the impact to the mission, the availability of safe shelter for personnel, and whether enough time is available to secure equipment before the expected wind event.

6. Burn Hazards

WARNING: Serious injury or death from burns or scalding can result from contact with high-pressure steam and/or liquid. Failure to observe this warning can result in serious injury.

NOTE: For treatment of burns, refer to Training Circular (TC) 4-02.1.

a. Voltage sources, in addition to being an electrical shock hazard, can also potentially produce serious burns.

(1) Exercise caution when using hand tools around exposed power connectors.

(2) Never let a tool bridge two terminals.

b. Equipment (e.g., radios, lights) and generators can be hot to touch. Allow unit to cool before handling or use gloves.

7. Radio Frequency (RF) Emissions NOTE: For artificial respiration and treatment for shock and burns, refer to TC 4-02.1.

a. RF emissions from transmitting antennas can cause serious injury and death.

b. Maintain at least 30 inches between vehicular antennas and personnel during transmissions.

c. Do not lean against or touch a whip antenna or antenna cables while the transmitter is ON.

d. Do not climb on top of a vehicle or shelter during radio transmissions.
