The shelters have been integrated with an active system to protect soldiers from CBRNE (chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear and explosives) hazards. It is designed to be compatible with any Army load-handling-system vehicle for greater transporting options. Two people can set up the new shelter, which provides basic IBCS engagement capabilities more rapidly. The identified focus areas include shortening time to engagement, increasing transportability and improving protection for the soldiers.

The four prototype shelters were developed as a result of several warfighter exercises that Northrop Grumman employs to gain soldier "hands-on" experience and feedback into the products. "Our ability to deliver the first of these prototypes just 11 months after contract award benefited from our integration and production expertise and continued close collaboration with the Army." "These new shelters will offer significantly more speed and flexibility to conduct IBCS operations, and better protection of our soldiers," said Dan Verwiel, vice president and general manager, integrated air and missile defense division, Northrop Grumman Information Systems. 4, 2015 - Northrop Grumman Corporation (NYSE:NOC) has delivered four prototype engagement operations center shelters for the integrated air and missile defense (IAMD) Battle Command System (IBCS), incorporating improvements resulting from input gathered from air and missile defenders.
