Poland's Ministry of National Defence has successfully conducted the first European live-fire test of the Integrated Battle Command System (IBCS) during the Iron Defender exercise in Ustka.
The exercise involved Poland’s IBCS-enabled WISŁA medium-range air defence system, which engaged and intercepted surrogate air-breathing targets, marking the system’s first international operational firing.
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.
Northrop Grumman stated that the test represents a major milestone for both the United States and Poland as they advance joint air and missile defence integration.
