INDIRECT FIRE PROTECTION CAPABILITY INC 2-I

Indirect Fire Protection Capability Increment 2 (IFPC Inc 2), is aligned with the Army Air and Missile Defense Modernization Priorities. The program aims to provide a ground-based weapon system designed to acquire, track, engage, and defeat Cruise Missiles (CM), Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS), Rocket, Artillery, and Mortar (RAM) threats. It 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 CM and UAS defeat mission. The program also involves rapid fielding of an Interim CMD capability with the Israeli Iron Dome Defense System - Army (IDDS-A) and integration of an enduring IFPC capability of a launcher and interceptor leveraging the AIAMD open systems architecture and IBCS.

The specific objectives include initiating procurement of the Israeli Iron Dome Missile System for an Interim CMD capability, delivering two Interim CMD (IDDS-A) Batteries for technical evaluation, assessment of operational utility, and safety evaluation, performing logistics analysis and assessments to determine IDDS-A training requirements, fielding requirement, spares packages, maintenance policies, and required Operational and Maintenance documentation. Additionally, the program involves conducting Performance Analysis and Operational Testing of the Interim CMD (IDDS-A) capability to prove out their readiness for deployment. Furthermore, it includes pursuing a competitive strategy with Industry participating in an FY 2021 Shoot Off demonstration using Industries' proposed launcher and missile solutions integrated with the Army's IBCS and Sentinel radar. The program also involves awarding a Firm Fixed Price Other Transaction Authority (OTA) agreement to Dynetics, Inc. to deliver the IFPC Inc 2 prototype solution, provide an initial capability and transition to procurement in FY 2024, and field Battalion 1 by FY 2026.
