The Integrated Fires Mission Command (IFMC) Project Office provides common integrated fire control across all Army air and missile defense echelons, integrating with the joint architecture, to develop a mission command and fire control system that integrates sensors and weapons into a cohesive warfighting capability. IFMC develops and improves mission command components and sustains fielded systems to address warfighter requirements, providing flexibility to respond to evolving threats (sensor, interceptor, electronic warfare). IFMC is structured to enable the development of an overarching system of systems capability with all participating air defense artillery components functioning interdependently to provide total operational capabilities not achievable by the individual element systems.

IFMC provides life cycle management for the following products:

• Integrated Battle Command System (IBCS)
• Legacy PATRIOT Ground Support Equipment (GSE)
• Air and Missile Defense Planning and Control System (AMDPCS)
• Forward Area Air Defense Command and Control (FAAD C2)
• Rocket, Artillery, Mortar (RAM) Warn
• Remote Interceptor Guidance - 360 degrees (RIG-360)

Mission The Integrated Fires Mission Command (IFMC) Project Office mission is to develop, test, acquire, field, and sustain integrated fires capabilities to support the warfighter through weapon and sensor integration and a common mission command system across all domains in order to provide a decisive battlefield advantage.

The Short and Intermediate Effectors for Layered Defense Project Office (SHIELD PO) serves as the Army’s centralized manager for the SHIELD family of missiles, sensors, lasers and launchers, and for the integration of these weapon systems within a Battle Management Command, Control, Communications, Computers and Intelligence (BMC4I) framework. The SHIELD PO delivers materiel solutions that provide US Forces and Allies the ability to detect and defeat Cruise Missiles (CM), Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS), Rotary and Fixed Wing Threats, and Rockets, Artillery and Mortars (RAM) in order to win our Nation’s Wars. This includes full line authority over the life cycle management, planning, direction, execution, and control of tasks (and designated associated resources) involved in the development, qualification, test, integration, production, sustainment, fielding, distribution (to U.S. forces and/or Foreign Military Sales (FMS) customers) and logistics support (including provision of documentation, training, and support items) of the worldwide inventory of assigned materiel.

To accomplish this mission, the SHIELD PO executes full life-cycle management of assigned Army, joint and international programs, providing world-class support to the Warfighter. The SHIELD portfolio includes:

·        The SGT STOUT

(M-SHORAD) Product Office

·        The Indirect Fire Protection Capability Increment 2 (IFPC Inc 2) Product Office

·        The Lower Tier Interceptors and Launchers Product Office

·        The Land-based Phalanx Weapon System (LPWS) Product Office

The PO pursues and leverages opportunities to enhance systems’ operational effectiveness while reducing the total cost of ownership. The SHIELD PO also exercises operational control over personnel assigned to other Army agencies and commands that provide collocated support to the SHIELD PO in the Security, Systems Engineering and Integration, Logistics, Test and Evaluation (T&E), Quality and Reliability Engineering, and Configuration Management and Production disciplines.

The Search Track Acquire Radiate Eliminate (STARE) Project Office manages Army air defense artillery and field artillery sensors, equipping and sustaining the global warfighter. STARE supports and improves fielded sensors by developing capabilities to address current and future threats, as well as integrating within the Integrated Air and Missile Defense Battle Command System (IBCS) network.

STARE provides life cycle management for the following products:

• Lower Tier Air and Missile Defense Sensor (LTAMDS)
• Multi-Mission Surveillance Systems (M2S2) -- AN/TPQ-53, AN/TPQ-50, AN/TPQ-36/37 radars
• Sentinel
• Army Long-Range Persistent Surveillance (ALPS)
• Range Radar Replacement Program (RRRP)

Mission

The Search Track Acquire Radiate Eliminate (STARE) Project Office mission is to develop, test, acquire, field and sustain world-class radar and sensor technologies enabling the long-range detection, discrimination, tracking, and destruction of multi-domain threat capabilities through the integration with mission command and effector systems. STARE delivers robust cyber security, advanced electronic countermeasure, and logistic systems and sub-systems, and supports the managed and controlled sale of radar and sensor capabilities to our allies and international partners.
