Indirect Fire Protection Capability Increment 2-Intercept (IFPC2)

Abstract

This program supports the overall integrated Air and Missile Defense (AMD) architecture and provides a robust intercept capability against Cruise Missiles (CM), Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) and an initial capability against Rocket, Artillery, and Mortar (RAM) threats for deployed forces, to include continued analysis and design. The Indirect Fire Protection Capability Increment 2 - Intercept (IFPC Inc 2-I) is a ground-based weapon system that will be designed to acquire, track, engage, and defeat the UAS, CM, and RAM threats. Initial IFPC 2-I system development was funded on this line through FY16. The system will provide 360-degree protection and will simultaneously engage threats arriving from different azimuths. A block acquisition approach will be used to provide this capability. The IFPC Inc 2-I Block 1 system will consist of an existing interceptor and sensor and development of fire control software and a Multi-Mission Launcher (MML) to support the UAS and CM defeat mission. The IFPC Inc 2-I system will be compatible with the Army Integrated Air and Missile Defense (IAMD) Command and Control (C2) architecture. The IFPC Inc 2-I system will be transportable by Army common mobile platforms. The IFPC Inc 2-I second interceptor will expand the Block 1 system's target set by enabling an initial counter - rocket, artillery, and mortar (C-RAM) capability through a kinetic intercept capability. Integration of second interceptor for IFPC Inc 2-I Block 1. FY2018 base dollars in the amount of $11.303 million funds the integration and testing of a second interceptor into the IFPC Inc 2-I Block 1 Multi-Mission Launcher.
