IFPC2

Abstract

This program supports the overall Air and Missile Defense (AMD) architecture and provides a robust intercept capability against rocket, artillery, and mortar (RAM) and residual Unmanned Aerial System (UAS) threats for deployed forces supporting stability and counterinsurgency operations. Indirect Fire Protection Capability Increment 2 (IFPC2) will integrate with current Counter-Rocket, Artillery, and Mortar (C-RAM), and RAM Warn Capability. When implemented, IFPC2 will provide 360 degree protection against RAM and residual UAS threats simultaneously attacking from multiple azimuths. IFPC2 technologies may consist of kinetic and/or directed energy weapons, associated fire control sensors, and a technical fire control capability. The specific system concept will be determined by an Analysis of Alternatives (AoA) to be completed in FY 2012. Tactical Command and Control is an external interface to the IFPC2 program to be provided by supported forces.
