Poland Conducts First European Live-Fire Test of IBCS System

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 test saw Poland’s IBCS-enabled WISŁA medium-range air defence system engage and intercept 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.

According to Northrop Grumman, the test represents a major milestone for both the United States and Poland as they advance joint air and missile defence integration.
