The architecture trade-off analysis methodology (ATAM) was used for the assessment focusing on quality attributes including openness, maintainability, usability, reliability, availability and performance.

The IBCS ATAM review was a scenario-based, in-depth architecture analysis involving government and industry programme stakeholders from systems engineering, design, development, test, logistics and the user community.

The IBCS programme is the first major US Army acquisition to provide open-architecture and mission-tailorable battle command system for air and missile defence units.
