Lockheed Martin has been awarded an Other Transaction Authority (OTA) Project Agreement by the U.S. Army for the Integrated Fires Protection Capability (IFPC) 2nd Interceptor program. The agreement aims to strengthen the Army’s air and missile defense systems and is expected to support a 15-year business relationship.
The IFPC 2nd Interceptor is designed to address the gap between short-range air defense systems and the Patriot air and missile defense system. Lockheed Martin will oversee the development, production, and delivery of the new interceptor, drawing on its experience in integrated air and missile defense, command and control, and advanced technologies.
Randy Crites, vice president of Lockheed Martin Missiles and Fire Control Advanced Programs, stated, "We are honored to have been selected by the U.S. Army for this critical program. 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. 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 commitment to investing in advanced technologies and providing solutions for complex security challenges. The company plans to collaborate closely with the U.S. Army throughout the duration of the program. AeroVironment is also partnering with Lockheed Martin on this project.
The IFPC 2nd Interceptor program is sponsored by the U.S. government under Other Transaction number W9124P-19-9-0001 between AMTC and the government. The views expressed are those of the authors and do not necessarily reflect official U.S. government policies or endorsements.
