In an Integrated Air Defense System, which component receives sensor data and directs shooters?

The Command and Control element acts as the decision center in an Integrated Air Defense System. It receives data from multiple sensors, fuses and analyzes that information to determine threats, and then issues engagement orders to the shooters. Sensors collect detections, and data links carry the information to C2, but they do not decide targets or direct fires on their own. Shooters carry out the orders, but the directing and prioritizing of targets comes from the C2.
