The vertical scale does not start at zero: the baseline sits just below this program’s smallest year, so a low point on this line is not a small amount. Read the shape for direction and the grid below for the figures.

Description

Mission Indirect Fire Protection Capability Inc 2 - Block 1

This funding line is directly aligned to one of the Army Air and Missile Defense Modernization Priorities and one of the Air and Missile Defense Cross Functional Team (AMD CFT) programs. Indirect Fire Protection Capability Increment (IFPC) is part of the Army Transformation Initiative. Project EY7 / IFPC Increment 2 (IFPC Inc 2) - Block 1 will provide a ground-based weapon system designed to acquire, track, engage, and defeat subsonic Cruise Missiles (CM), Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS), Rocket, Artillery, and Mortar (RAM) threats. The IFPC Inc 2 system consists of a launcher, AIM-9X interceptor, and AUR-M 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 IFPC Inc 2 program is a component of an integrated fires development effort that includes survivability, resiliency, and effectiveness improvements against advanced threats from near-peer adversaries. This effort includes component integration, common development tools and processes, and annual test and evaluation to provide data to support program assessments and progress toward closure of performance gaps. In FY 2025, IFPC Inc 2 successfully transitioned from a Middle Tier of Acquisition (MTA) Rapid Prototyping (RP) effort to MTA Rapid Fielding (RF). The IFPC Inc 2 effort is fully funded. The Army is pursuing the IFPC High Energy Laser (IFPC HEL) and the IFPC High Powered Microwave (IFPC HPM) as complimentary non-kinetic effectors of the IFPC missions that include counter RAM, Counter CM, counter UAS and denial of manned aircraft threats. Project EY8 / IFPC Increment 2 - Block 2 (IFPC 2nd Interceptor) will provide additional capabilities against supersonic cruise missiles with a secondary target set of subsonic cruise missiles, UAS, large caliber rockets, and other aerial threats. The 2nd Interceptor program also supports the Air and Missile Defense modernization priorities. The FY 2026 request was reduced by $1.751 million for Advisory and Assistance Services to promote efficiencies and advance the policies of the Administration in alignment with Executive Order 14222, "Implementing the President's Department of Government Efficiency Cost Efficiency Initiative."

Mission IFPC Increment 2 - Block 1

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. In FY 2025, IFPC Inc 2 successfully transitioned from a Middle Tier of Acquisition (MTA) Rapid Prototyping (RP) effort to MTA Rapid Fielding (RF). The IFPC Inc 2 effort is fully funded. The Army is pursuing the IFPC High Energy Laser (IFPC HEL) and the IFPC High Powered Microwave (IFPC HPM) as complimentary non-kinetic effectors of the IFPC missions that include counter RAM, Counter CM, counter UAS and denial of manned aircraft threats. FY 2026 funds will support conducting Initial Operational Test & Evaluation and related activities including product improvement, logistics demonstration, delta developmental test, training, USFK acceleration, and continual support of the IFPC HEL and IFPC HPM transition team.

Mission IFPC Increment 2 - Block 2

This funding line is directly aligned to the Army Air and Missile Defense Modernization Priority. The IFPC Increment 2 (Inc 2) - Block 2 (IFPC 2nd Interceptor program) supports the Air and Missile Defense modernization priorities. The 2nd Interceptor will maintain baseline capabilities and increase lethality and increase range. The primary threat set for the 2nd Interceptor is supersonic cruise missiles with the secondary target set as subsonic cruise missiles, Group 2 & 3 UAS at extended ranges, large caliber rockets, and fixed and rotary wing aircraft. The 2nd Interceptor consists of an AUR-M with interceptors integrated onto the IFPC Inc 2 launcher and with the Army Integrated Air and Missile Defense (AIAMD) open systems architecture, IAMD Battle Command System (IBCS), and the Sentinel sensor. In FY 2026, funding will be used to support the development, integration, testing, and prototype manufacturing of the IFPC 2nd Interceptor capability with up to two vendors. In FY 2025, IFPC 2nd Interceptor Development efforts were realigned from Project EY7/IFPC Increment 2 - Block 1 to Project/EY8 IFPC Increment 2 - Block 2. within PE 0605052A / Indirect Fire Protection Capability Inc 2 - Block 1.
