Leidos received a $617 million award from the U.S. Army to build and deliver additional launchers for the Indirect Fire Protection Capability Increment 2 (IFPC Inc 2) system, the Army's newest mobile, ground-based air defense system.

Combined with $356 million awarded in July and September 2025, Leidos now has nearly $1.2 billion in production contracts supporting the Army's future efforts to field this capability. Leidos has more than 100 launchers committed for delivery.

The funding also supports continued research, development and testing, paving the way for future orders through 2029.

As a component of the Army's layered Air and Missile Defense architecture, this mobile, ground-based weapon system integrates with existing command-and-control systems and offers plug-and-play protection while maintaining compatibility with Army transport platforms and vehicles.
