IFPC2

Abstract

The EMAM program supports the overall Integrated Air and Missile Defense (IAMD) architecture and expands the Indirect Fire Protection Capability Increment 2 - Intercept (IFPC Inc 2-I) Block 1 system's target set by enabling an initial counter-Rocket, Artillery, and Mortar (RAM) capability while providing a second kinetic interceptor capability against Cruise Missiles (CM) and Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS). The Indirect Fire Protection Capability Increment 2 - Intercept (IFPC Inc 2-I) is a ground-based weapon system that is designed to acquire, track, engage, and defeat the UAS, CM, and RAM threats. Initial IFPC 2-I system development was funded on this line through FY16. The system provides 360-degree protection and simultaneously engages threats arriving from different azimuths. A block acquisition approach will be used to provide this capability. The IFPC Inc 2-I Block 1 system consists of an existing interceptor and sensor and development of fire control software and a Multi-Mission Launcher (MML) to support the UAS and CM defeat mission. The IFPC Inc 2-I system is compatible with the Army Integrated Air and Missile Defense (IAMD) Command and Control (C2) architecture. The IFPC Inc 2-I system is transportable by Army common mobile platforms. FY2019 base dollars in the amount of $51.030 million funds integration and testing of a EMAM interceptor into the IFPC Inc 2-I Block 1 Multi-Mission Launcher.
