IFPC Increment 2 - Block 1
Abstract
This funding line is directly aligned to the Army Air and Missile Defense Modernization Priority. 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), and 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 Threshold CM and UAS defeat mission. The Second Interceptor focus will be on supersonic cruise missiles and large caliber rockets. 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 secondary kinetic effector to defeat the IFPC threat set to include RAM threats. The Second Interceptor program supports the Air and Missile Defense modernization priorities, specifically Line of Effort #2, Indirect Fire Protection Capability Increment 2. The Second Interceptor expands the IFPC Inc 2 system's target set by focusing on supersonic cruise missiles and large caliber rockets. Additionally, the Army plans to pursue the IFPC High Energy Laser (IFPC HEL) and IFPC High Powered Microwave (IFPC HPM) as non-kinetic effectors of the IFPC counter-RAM, counter-CM, and counter-UAS (Class 1 - 3) missions. The IFPC HEL and IFPC HPM elements will be robust, cost effective, and sustainable complementary capabilities to the overall IFPC mission to protect key fixed and semi-fixed sites. 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. FY 2024 Base dollars in the amount of $196.248 million are designated for the development, integration, testing of the IFPC Inc 2 system, the initialization of the IFPC Directed Energy team, and acquisition of 12 IFPC launch systems for Initial Operational Test & Evaluation (IOT&E). IFPC Inc 2 is scheduled for a Milestone C decision in FY 2024. 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.
