Press Release, Dallas TX, 16 October 2025: The US Army awarded Lockheed Martin an Integrated Fires Protection Capability (IFPC) 2nd Interceptor Other Transaction Authority (OTA) Project Agreement to enhance its air and missile defence capabilities. This significant agreement results from the company’s investment in Integrated Air and Missile Defense (IAMD) capabilities and is projected to result in 15 years of business.
The IFPC 2nd Interceptor programme will provide a robust and integrated solution to fill the gap between short-range air defence systems and the Patriot air and missile defence system. Lockheed Martin will lead the development, production and delivery of the IFPC 2nd Interceptor, leveraging its expertise in integrated air and missile defence, command and control, and advanced technologies.
“We are honoured to have been selected by the US Army for this critical programme,” said Randy Crites, vice president, Lockheed Martin Missiles and Fire Control Advanced Programs. “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.”
This agreement is a testament to Lockheed Martin’s investments in advanced technologies and 21st Century Security capabilities that address the complex security challenges of the future. Over the next 15+ years, the company will work closely with the US Army to ensure the successful execution of the programme, driving innovation and delivering exceptional performance.
The company is well-positioned to support the US Army’s long-term requirements, with a strong track record of delivering high-quality products and services that meet the evolving needs of its customers.
