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 EY7 Indirect Fire Protection Capability Increment 2 (IFPC Inc 2) - Block 1 will provide a ground-based weapon system designed to acquire, track, engage, and defeat subsonic 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. 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 total cost of the IFPC Inc 2 Middle Tier of Acquisition (MTA) effort is $531.3 million from FY21 to FY25. The Army is pursuing 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. The EY8 IFPC Increment 2 - Block 2 (IFPC 2nd Interceptor) will expand additional capabilities against supersonic cruise missiles with a secondary target set of UAS, large caliber rockets, and other aerial threats. The 2nd Interceptor program also supports the Air and Missile Defense modernization priorities.
