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) - Block 1 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. 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. FY 2025 Base dollars in the amount of $138.553 million is designated for integration within the Army IAMD architecture, delta system qualification testing, delta development testing, development and integration of the prime contractor and subcontractor's datalink solution, and continual support of the IFPC HEL and IFPC HPM transition team. IFPC Inc 2 is scheduled for a Milestone (MS) C decision in FY 2025. The total cost of the IFPC Inc 2 Middle Tier of Acquisition (MTA) effort is $531.3 million from FY21 to FY25.
