Indirect Fire Protection Capability Inc 2 - Block 1

Abstract

The Indirect Fire Protection Capability Increment 2 (IFPC Inc 2) will provide a ground-based weapon system designed to acquire, track, engage, and defeat Cruise Missiles (CM), Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS), and Rocket, Artillery, and Mortar (RAM) threats. The IFPC Inc 2 system consists of a launcher and interceptor integrated with the Army Integrated Air and Missile Defense (AIAMD) open systems architecture, IAMD Battle Command System (IBCS), and the Sentinel sensor to support the Threshold CM and UAS defeat mission. The Objective counter-RAM mission employs both alternative kinetic and non-kinetic defeat solutions. The Army is pursuing the IFPC Inc 2 capability consisting of a launcher and interceptor as the kinetic solution for the mission to defeat CM, UAS, and RAM threats. The Army plans to pursue the IFPC High Energy Laser (IFPC HEL) and IFPC High Powered Microwave (IFPC HPM) as non-kinetic complementary capabilities as part of the IFPC Objective counter-RAM mission. Additionally, the Army was directed in section 112 of the Nation Defense Authorization Act for 2019 to deploy an Interim Cruise Missile Defense (CMD) capability. The Army contracted with the Israeli Missile Defense Organization (IMDO) for two Interim CMD (Iron Dome Defense System - Army (IDDS-A)) batteries and continues efforts to improve their interoperability with the Army's Integrated Air and Missile Defense networks. FY 2022 Base dollars in the amount of $233.512 million are designated for Interim CMD Interoperability testing and support and the development and integration of the IFPC Inc 2 system.
