What is the purpose of the Integrated Air and Missile Defense (IAMD) concept?

Integrated Air and Missile Defense aims to fuse air and missile defenses into a single, coherent framework that treats air and missile threats as one battlespace. By weaving sensors, command and control, and weapons together, it creates a shared picture and enables faster, coordinated engagements against a range of threats—aircraft, ballistic missiles, cruise missiles, and drones. This approach optimizes asset use, reduces gaps, and minimizes fratricide through synchronized decision-making and cross-domain fires. That’s why the purpose is to provide a unified, multi-domain defense by integrating sensors, C2, and weapons across air and missile threats.
