Poland conducts first European live-fire test of IBCS system
Poland's Ministry of National Defence has conducted the first successful European live-fire test of the Integrated Battle Command System (IBCS), developed by Northrop Grumman.
The test was conducted during the Iron Defender exercise in Ustka, where Poland’s IBCS-enabled WISŁA medium-range air defence system engaged and intercepted surrogate air-breathing targets.
Kenn Todorov, vice president and general manager for command and control and weapons integration at Northrop Grumman, said: “This achievement not only highlights the exceptional performance and capabilities of IBCS but also demonstrates Poland’s steadfast commitment to homeland defence and the enhancement of European security.
The exercise marks the system’s first international operational firing and represents a major milestone for both the United States and Poland as they advance joint air and missile defence integration.
