The IFPC 2nd Interceptor will bridge the gap between short-range air defence and the Patriot missile system, enhancing integrated and layered defence capabilities. Lockheed Martin will oversee the development, production and delivery of the system, drawing on its established expertise in missile defence, command and control, and advanced technology.
“We are honored to have been selected by the U.S. Army for this critical program,” said Randy Crites, vice president, Lockheed Martin Missiles and Fire Control Advanced Programs. “The IFPC 2nd Interceptor agreement demonstrates the Army’s confidence in our ability to deliver innovative, effective and sustainable solutions that meet their evolving needs.”
Crites added: “This is representative of our industry leadership in IAMD capabilities that work for any objective. We look forward to continuing our long-standing partnership with the Army and supporting their mission to protect our nation and its interests.”
The agreement highlights Lockheed Martin’s sustained investment in 21st Century Security solutions and advanced technologies to address complex security threats. Over the course of the programme, the company will collaborate closely with the U.S. Army to drive innovation and deliver consistent high performance.
Lockheed Martin is also working with AeroVironment on the IFPC 2nd Interceptor Programme, further strengthening its capability to meet evolving defence requirements. With a strong track record in delivering reliable systems, the company is well-positioned to support the U.S. Army’s future operational needs.
