The U.S. Army’s Indirect Fire Protection Capability (IFPC) System

Protecting high-value military sites against enemy cruise missile (CM), unmanned aerial system (UAS), and rocket, artillery, and mortar (RAM) attacks has long been an important consideration in protecting military forces.

The 2020 Nagorno-Karabakh Conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan and ongoing conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East have heightened interest in the efficacy of these force protection systems and highlighted the requirement to protect sites and other assets from such threats.
