Indirect Fire Protection Capability Inc 2 - Block 1
Abstract
This funding line is directly aligned to one of the Army Air and Missile Defense Modernization Priorities and one of the Air and Missile Defense Cross Functional Team (AMD CFT) programs. 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), 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 CM and UAS defeat mission. A Second Interceptor focus will be on supersonic cruise missiles and large caliber rockets. The IFPC Inc 2 program is a component of an integrated fires development effort that includes survivability, resiliency, and effectiveness improvements against advanced threats from near-peer adversaries. This effort includes component integration, common development tools and processes, and annual test and evaluation to provide data to support program assessments and progress toward closure of performance gaps. The Army is pursuing the IFPC Inc 2 capability consisting of a launcher and interceptor as the kinetic solution for the primary mission to defeat CM, UAS, and will pursue a Second Interceptor to expands the IFPC Inc 2 system's target set by focusing on supersonic cruise missiles and large caliber rockets. The Second Interceptor program also supports the Air and Missile Defense modernization priorities. The Army plans to pursue the IFPC High Energy Laser (IFPC HEL) and IFPC High Powered Microwave (IFPC HPM) as complimentary non-kinetic effectors of the IFPC counter-RAM, counter-CM, and counter-UAS missions. Additionally, section 112 of the National Defense Authorization Act for 2019 directed the Army 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 field and sustain two operational IDDS-A Batteries. The total cost of the IFPC Inc 2 Middle Tier Acquisition (MTA) effort is $546 million from FY 2021 to FY 2024. The IFPC Inc 2 MTA is fully funded across the Future Years Defense Program.
