IFPC-High Energy Laser

Abstract

This effort will provide for the planning, prototype manufacturing, and testing of 4 IFPC-HEL rapid prototypes with residual combat capability to support the IFPC mission. The IFPC-HEL is a 300 kilowatt (kW) modularized laser weapon system that can be integrated onto a Heavy Expanded Mobility Tactical Truck (HEMTT) Palletized Load System (PLS) to defend fixed and semi-fixed sites from Cruise Missiles (CM), Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS), and Rocket, Artillery, and Mortar (RAM) threats to be fielded to a IFPC Battery in FY 2024. IFPC-HEL builds on the technology maturation and demonstration from PE 0602150A (Air and Missile Defense Technology) / Project AC9 (High Energy Laser Tactical Vehicle Demonstrator Technology) and PE 0603466A (Air and Missile Defense Advanced Technology) / Project AD1 (High Energy Laser Tactical Vehicle Demo Advanced Technology).
