IDS provides integrated air and missile defense systems and naval and maritime integrated warfighting systems. This includes modeling and simulation capabilities for the Missile Defense Agency and global integrated capabilities for Army, Navy, Marine Corps and technology customers. IDS is headquartered in Tewksbury, MA with development, production, and test locations in Massachusetts, Rhode Island, California, Louisiana, Washington, New Mexico, Alabama, Hawaii, and Australia.

With the largest share of the air missile defense market, IDS is a world leader in X-band radars and is a unique source of large early warning & Intel Radars. IDS has a major manufacturing site with Centers of Excellence in Circuit Card Assembly and Metal Fabrication as well as providing manufacturing centers in integrated data processors, microwave products, interconnect technologies and surface acoustic wave products. They also specialize in system integration for shipboard systems and surface radar / missiles.

Some of the more prominent IDS products are as follows:

• Patriot – The cornerstone of the U.S. Army's Integrated Air Defense System, Patriot, is a combat-proven, long-range, all-altitude, all-weather air defense system fielded to counter advanced aircraft, tactical ballistic missiles, and cruise missiles.
  
  
• X Band Radar – The X Band Radar is a large phased array radar fire control sensor, which provides the precision discrimination and interceptor support necessary to the National Missile Defense system success.
  
  
• GBR-P – The Ground Based Radar-Prototype is a large phased array radar, which is the test bed radar for the National Missile Defense Mission.
  
  
• Surface Launched AMRAAM – Surface Launched AMRAAM is a short to medium range air defense system, consisting of a AN/MPQ-64 Sentinel Radar, a Kongsberg Fire Direction Center, and up to eight launchers. The launcher options are the NASAMS Launcher (with six AMRAAM missiles), the Universal Launcher (with eight AMRAAM missiles) or HUMRAAM (with five AMRAAM missiles).
  
  
• JLENS – The Joint Land Attack Cruise Missile Defense Elevated Netted Sensor (JLENS) is a tactical, theater-based advanced sensor system elevated by tethered aerostat to improve the battlefield commander's ability to provide wide-area protection against land attack cruise missiles.
  
  
• HAWK – HAWK is a medium range, low and medium altitude, all weather air defense guided missile system. HAWK is one of the world's most mature and effective medium altitude air defense systems due to its use of continuous wave radar technology. UEWR – The Upgraded Early Warning Radar's will provide effective early detection and mid-course target tracking for the National Missile Defense Mission. The three PAVE PAWS and two BMEWS radars are being upgraded with new hardware and software which will enhance their detection, tracking accuracy and object classification capabilities.
  
  
• THAAD Radar – The THAAD Radar is an X-band, phased array solid-state radar. It is the fire control radar for the THAAD System providing surveillance, and detection, target tracking, discrimination, and kill assessment.
  
  
• AEGIS –the ship system integration of the US Navy AEGIS based ships. This involves management of the ship's information systems engineering and integration to design the ship's information architecture, control systems, vessel management, combat and CHISR systems.
  
  
• Submarine Combat Systems – The family of Mark 46, 48 and 50 torpedoes can be launched from submarines, helicopters and fixed wing aircraft and are designed to counter the latest fast, deep diving submarines.
  
  
• LPD-17 – The Navy's newest class of ship is the most survivable amphibious ship ever put to sea. The ship system includes state-of-the-art self defense capabilities, C4I, reduced signature technologies, reduced operational costs and adaptability to technological advances.
  
  
• Surface Sonar – The current AN/SQS-56 is an integrated ASW, Mine Avoidance and Torpedo Defense system.
  
  
• DD-X – The US Navy's surface combatant destroyer for the 21st Century.
  
  
• ALFS – The Active Low Frequency Sonar is the next generation dipping sonar and sonobuoy processing system for the SH-60R helicopter.
  
  
• RAMICS – Rapid Airborne Mine Clearance System is a helicopter based mine counter measure system to rapidly neutralize new surface, floating and shallow bottom mines.
