Intelligent Munitions System (IMS)
ATK is working with General Dynamics Advanced Information Systems to develop the Intelligent Munitions System (IMS) for the Army's Future Combat System to ensure battlefield mobility for the current and future force.

The IMS solution allows for the location and destruction of enemy forces, enables reliable battle damage information, and enhances the ability of the commander to employ forces more effectively. IMS contributes significantly to a more comprehensive and accurate common operating picture than currently available to the warfighter.

Situational awareness nodes provide sensing and communications to next-generation intelligent munitions. The scalable lethality of these munitions defeat all potential threat targets, including armored or light vehicles. The munitions use a proven scatterable mine warhead technology developed and fielded over the past 25 years. In addition, IMS meets all requirements of the National Landmine Policy and provides interoperable control of the Spider antipersonnel landmine alternative.

An initial operational capability is planned to be available in 2009.
