Solicitation for Integrated Battle Command System (IBCS) Modernization by U.S. Army PEO Missiles and Space

This opportunity is a solicitation by the U.S. Army's Program Executive Office for Missiles and Space (PEO MS), specifically the Integrated Fires Mission Command (IFMC) Project Office and Hardware Product Office, for modernization of the Integrated Battle Command System (IBCS). The solicitation seeks innovative hardware and software solutions to enhance the IBCS system architecture, focusing on survivability, mobility, adaptability, and supportability in contested environments. Key components include integration with sensors and effectors such as Sentinel A3 and PATRIOT systems, modular open systems architecture, cloud-based strategies, AI/ML integration, and cyber survivability. The contracting office is the AMCOM Contracting Center Missile at Redstone Arsenal, Alabama, with the primary place of performance in Huntsville, AL, and potential deployment in Taiwan. The procurement process includes multiple phases: solution brief submission, pitch sessions, and prototype proposals, with awards under Other Transaction Authority (OTA) prototype projects. The solicitation includes updated attachments with detailed instructions and Q&A.

PEO Missiles and Space (PEO MS) supports the Fires Enterprise by integrating sensors, effectors, and fire control into a system-of-systems (SoS) that delivers offensive and defensive fires for the Joint Force.

The IFMC Project Office develops and sustains mission command and fire control capabilities across all Army Air and Missile Defense (AMD) echelons. IFMC closes key operational gaps such as the Single Integrated Air Picture (SIAP), Integrated Fire Control (IFC), and critical asset defense while enabling adaptability against evolving threats.

The Integrated Air and Missile Defense (IAMD) Program builds on this foundation by unifying all Army AMD components into a SoS, delivering operational capabilities not achievable by individual systems. IAMD strengthens homeland defense, protects forces and critical assets, and preserves freedom of action by countering adversary air and missile threats.

At the center of IAMD is the Integrated Battle Command System (IBCS), the Army’s materiel solution that links current and future AMD sensors, effectors, and mission command nodes on a single common network. IBCS consists of Engagement Operations Center (EOC), Integrated Fire Control Network (IFCN) Relays, and integration kits to network-enable current and future AMD components (current IBCS MEIs are shown at the enclosure).

Initial IAMD fielding includes Sentinel A3 and PATRIOT system integration with future expansion to additional sensors and effectors.
