LIVE: Contemporary Military Forum 2: Transforming Army Integrated Air and Missile Defense.

contemporary military forum 2: transforming army integrated air and missile defense. In October 2023, the Association of the United States Army (AUSA) hosted "Contemporary Military Forum #2: Transforming for the Future Fight," which included a discussion on integrated air and missile defense (IAMD). The forum highlighted the need to modernize IAMD to counter increasingly sophisticated threats like drones, hypersonic missiles, and cruise missiles. Key takeaways from the 2023 forum and related IAMD discussions Multi-domain operations Integrating capabilities: The discussion emphasized the need to integrate capabilities from all military domains—air, sea, land, space, and cyberspace—to shatter an enemy's cohesion. Distributed operations: To counter the threat of being attacked by aggregating forces, there is a necessity to operate in a more distributed manner. Rapid decision-making: Integrating various systems through a central command and control system, such as the Integrated Battle Command System (IBCS), facilitates faster and more effective decision-making. Technological integration and modernization Beyond legacy systems: The U.S. Army is moving beyond its traditional reliance on the Patriot missile system to integrate new technologies for counter-drone and counter-cruise missile capabilities. Significant investment: The Army's fiscal year 2025 budget submission included a significant increase in funding for IAMD capabilities, supporting modernization efforts for systems like Patriot and IBCS. Human-machine integration: New technologies discussed at AUSA forums include integrating robotic combat vehicles into formations to enhance safety and effectiveness. Lessons from modern conflicts Threat proliferation: The Russia-Ukraine war has demonstrated the proliferation of diverse air and missile threats, including drones. This has reinforced the need for modernizing IAMD, including counter-drone systems. Validating strategy: Lessons from the conflict have reaffirmed that the Army's modernization path for defeating and deterring threats is the correct one. Personnel and readiness Force expansion: To support the modernized IAMD structure, the Army has announced plans to grow its force with new battalions and counter-unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) batteries. Training and interoperability: Regular training and exercises are critical to increase the interoperability and readiness of IAMD forces. Context within the broader military The modernization of Army IAMD is part of a wider effort among NATO and allied nations to enhance air and missile defense capabilities. Events like the 2023 AUSA forum provide a venue for military leaders, defense industry partners, and government officials to discuss these ongoing transformations and align efforts for the future fight.
