Architecting the Future of Missile Defense
From Patriot and THAAD to the original IBCS architecture, William Cook and Intelligent Systems Research pioneered the distributed command-and-control concepts that define today’s air and missile defense systems. Now, with advanced sensor fusion technologies developed under his leadership, ISR is ready to help realize the fully integrated, survivable defense systems our future demands.
Who is Bill Cook?
William (Bill) Cook is a West Point graduate, former U.S. Army officer, and nationally recognized systems architect who defined the functional command-and-control architecture for some of the most important missile defense programs of the last 40 years. From leading Patriot C3 efforts to authoring the THAAD BM/C3I architecture and laying the foundation for IBCS, his work introduced the core concepts of distributed, netted, and survivable battle management still used today. As the lead systems engineer behind ISR’s next-generation sensor fusion platform, Bill now advises national defense innovators building the integrated systems that the primes still haven’t delivered.
We bring decades of proven command-and-control design, distributed coordination logic, and national defense experience to emerging defense innovators building the next generation of autonomous and networked platforms.
