Indirect Fire Protection Capability 2 - Intercept

Abstract

This system is an integral part of the overall Air and Missile Defense (AMD) architecture and provides a robust intercept capability against rocket, artillery, and mortar threats for deployed forces. The Indirect Fire Protection Capability Increment 2 -Intercept (IFPC Inc 2-I) will become part of the Army's Integrated Air and Missile Defense (IAMD) architecture and seamlessly integrate with current Increment 0, Counter-Rockets, Artillery, and Mortar (C-RAM), and Increment 1, Enhanced Sense and Warn Capability. When implemented, IFPC Inc 2-I will provide 360 degree protection against RAM threats simultaneously attacking from multiple azimuths. IFPC Inc 2-I 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 FY12. Tactical Command and Control is an external interface to the IFPC Inc 2-I program and will be provided by supported forces. Technologies currently being developed under Science and Technology efforts may be used to support the Technology Development Phase of the IFPC Inc 2-I effort.
