IFPC High Power Microwave (HPM)
Abstract
The Indirect Fire Protection Capability (DE-IFPC) - High Power Microwave (HPM) is an Air Defense capability consisting of the IFPC - HPM experimental prototype with residual combat capability at the IFPC Battery Level in support of Multi-domain Operations (MDO). IFPC-HPM will provide the Army with a High Powered Microwave prototype weapon systems for the short-range defense of fixed and semi-fixed sites from Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) threats. This project will deliver an operationally effective rapid prototype capabilities in the near- and mid-terms. Efforts will include accelerated materiel development and competitive prototyping. IFPC-HPM funds an improved mechanism to effectively confront emerging threats and advance America's military dominance in accordance with the National Defense Strategy. Efforts include development, acquisition, assessment, maturation, and transition of prototype technologies to acquisition programs. The cited work is consistent with the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering priority focus areas, and the Army Modernization Strategy, and supports the Army's future capability opportunities for leap-ahead technology for directed energy. Work is performed by the United States (US) Army Rapid Capabilities and Critical Technologies Office (RCCTO).
