IFPC-High Energy Laser

Abstract

This effort will provide planning, prototype manufacturing, and testing for the Indirect Fire Protection Capability (IFPC)-High Energy Laser (HEL) prototypes with residual combat capability to support the IFPC mission. The IFPC-HEL is a modularized laser weapon system that can be integrated onto a Heavy Expanded Mobility Tactical Truck (HEMTT) Palletized Load System (PLS) to defend fixed and semi-fixed sites from Cruise Missile (CM); Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS); Rocket, Artillery, and Mortar (RAM); Fixed Wing (FW); and Rotary Wing (RW) threats delivered with residual combat capability in FY 2025 as part of the IFPC Battery in support of Multi-Domain Operations (MDO). IFPC-HEL builds on the technology maturation and demonstration from PE 0602150A (Air and Missile Defense Technology) / Project AC9 (High Energy Laser Tactical Vehicle Demonstrator Technology) and PE 0603466A (Air and Missile Defense Advanced Technology) / Project AD1 (High Energy Laser Tactical Vehicle Demo Advanced Technology).
