The United States intends to significantly increase its air defense capabilities. Yesterday, October 11, the portal defensenews.com He announced that full-scale production of the promising IBCS air defense system could begin as early as 2023.

The Integrated Air and Missile Defense Combat Control System (IBCS, Integrated Air and Missile Defense Battle Command System) has been developed for about ten years and should replace the Patriot system in service. After the failure of the tests in 2016, the contractors significantly improved it, and in 2020 it showed its effectiveness.

It is planned that at the beginning of next year, Raytheon will transfer the last contracted LTAMDS radars. At the end of 2022, the final tests of the air defense system will take place, and from 2023, full—scale production of some of its elements will begin - new interceptor missiles and launchers for them will be ordered later.

IBCS is being developed as the "brain" of the promising air and missile defense of the US army. It will combine not only radars and launchers created to replace Patriot, but will also become the core of an integrated air defense system that will process data from all possible sources, including fighter jets.

Цитата, q
Интегрированная система боевого управления противовоздушной и противоракетной обороной (IBCS, Integrated Air and Missile Defense Battle Command System) разрабатывается уже порядка десяти лет и должна заменить на службе систему Patriot.
Заменить? А ничего, что ЗРК Patriot сами в систему IBCS должны войти, что даже на приведённой в статье схеме показано. Как система управления, по мнению автора, должна заменить ЗРК?

Цитата, q
Планируется, что в начале следующего года компания Raytheon передаст последние законтрактованные радары LTAMDS.
Которые опять же должны войти в ЗРК Patriot. Такое ощущение, что автор сам не до конца понимает, о чём пишет.

Army closes in on replacement for Patriot air defense system

WASHINGTON — The U.S. Army has been working toward a replacement for its Raytheon-made Patriot air and missile defense system for well over a decade, but it is closing in on bringing some key capabilities of its future system to bear in 2022.

The linchpin of the Army’s future Integrated Air and Missile Defense system — the Integrated Air and Missile Defense Battle Command System, or IBCS — will complete its critical initial operational test and evaluation in 2022.

Once the Army receives the radars in the second quarter of 2022, “from that point in time, we’ll start doing all of the developmental testing. First, verification that the system does everything it’s supposed to do based upon the contract, and then start moving to do all the developmental testing ramping up to the flight testing activities,” Rasch said.
“We are absolutely still on schedule to meet” the December 2023 timeline to deliver the urgent requirement, he said.

Replacing the Patriot radar has been a long time coming. The radar was first fielded in the 1980s, and the Army previously attempted to replace the system with Lockheed Martin’s Medium Extended Air Defense System through an international co-development effort with Germany and Italy. But that program was canceled in the U.S. after closing out a proof-of-concept phase nearly a decade ago.

The Army opted to compete for different parts of an integrated system. The plan for a future interceptor and launcher to replace the Patriot family of missiles are decisions to be made later on, Rasch said.
