Leidos - Defence Industry Europe

Leidos is preparing to begin large-scale production of its Indirect Fires Protection Capability Increment 2 (IFPC Inc 2) launchers, a mobile, ground-based weapon system designed to counter threats from unmanned aerial vehicles and cruise missiles. The system offers rapid reload capabilities, 360-degree coverage, and integration with the U.S. Army’s Integrated Air and Missile Defense (AIAMD) network.

The demonstration highlighted the system’s ability to detect, track, engage and intercept UAS and CM targets in a missile flight test with a surface launched AIM-9X.

Leidos, a global leader in technology and defence solutions, has successfully completed two key reviews for the Air Force Research Laboratory’s (AFRL) cutting-edge air-breathing hypersonic system, Mayhem. Completion of the two reviews—conceptual design review and system requirements review—marks a significant step forward in advancing the next generation of air-breathing hypersonic technologies. The reviews were executed within the digital engineering environment and showcased the designs and technologies envisioned for high-speed systems such as Mayhem.
