Leidos has more than 100 launchers committed for delivery. The contracts represent a defining investment in IFPC Inc 2 and the system's progress toward full-rate production. The funding also supports continued research, development and testing, paving the way for future orders through 2029.
"These awards reflect the Army's confidence in our team and the growing demand for a proven defense system that's available today," said Dino Pusinsky, vice president of the IFPC Inc 2 product area at Leidos. "We're working with our Army and industry partners to apply innovative manufacturing and engineering strategies that ensure this capability is ready when and where it's needed, while building resiliency and capacity across the supply chain to support sustained, scalable production."
Leidos delivered the first IFPC Inc 2 Initial Operational Test and Evaluation launcher two months ahead of schedule. The milestone and recent production contracts demonstrate the disciplined execution and readiness guiding its trusted Air and Missile Defense work, which is part of the company's NorthStar 2030 strategic focus to support the Department of War.
