Indirect Fire Protection Capability Increment 2

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 Rocket, Artillery, and Mortar (RAM) threats for deployed forces. 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. 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. FY 2018 Base dollars in the amount of $175.069 million are designated for the fabrication and delivery of EMD Assets #1-6, program management/administration, system engineering, hardware and software integration, additional spares and system/subsystem developmental testing.

• Change Summary Explanation: Funding increase in FY18 of $111.699 million is due to a change in the Acquisition Strategy associated with a Milestone C delay from FY18 to FY19 as identified in Milestone B Army Cost Position, funding adjustment to transition four MMLs originally designated as Low Rate Initial Production assets funded with Missile Procurement, Army to be designated as additional test assets for Initial Operation Test and Evaluation, and an increase to fund EMD Risk Mitigation activities to lower the programmatic risk as discussed by the Army Acquisition Executive and the Vice Chief of Staff of the Army.
