The contract’s initial undefinitized task order is valued at $204 million, with $99 million obligated immediately upon award. By using an IDIQ structure, the Army seeks to accelerate procurement and adapt to changing operational needs while optimising support for warfighters on the ground.
Maj. Gen. Frank Lozano, Program Executive Officer for Missiles and Space, underscored the significance of this step. “With this contract award, the U.S. Army advances its commitment to defending U.S. interests and brings us one step closer to fulfilling our mission of providing robust and layered defence against ballistic missile attacks,” he said.
The IFPC Inc 2 system is designed to safeguard fixed and semi-fixed sites against threats such as unmanned aerial systems, cruise missiles, and rockets, artillery, and mortars (RAM). It serves as a critical component of the Army’s layered defence architecture, protecting forward operating bases and other vital infrastructure.
A key feature of the IFPC Inc 2 system is its integration with the Army’s Integrated Battle Command System (IBCS). IBCS provides a unified air and missile defence fire control network, linking multiple sensors and shooters to deliver more effective and efficient protection against diverse airborne threats.
This contract was awarded under the leadership of the Program Executive Office for Missiles and Space (PEO MS) in partnership with Army Contracting Command-Redstone Arsenal.
