Rafael Selected for U.S. Army's IFPC Inc 2 Air Defense Interceptor Program Using Iron Dome Technology
Rafael Systems Global Sustainment has been chosen for Phase 1 of the U.S. Army's IFPC Inc 2 Second Interceptor program, utilizing Iron Dome technology to protect military installations against threats like cruise missiles and drones.
The program, managed by the Army's SHIELD Project Office, emphasizes adaptability and future growth with a focus on minimal launcher modifications. Rafael's technology will be enhanced through modeling and simulation to improve effectiveness against evolving threats.
The company secured a $1.25 billion contract in 2025 to boost Iron Dome interceptor production in Camden, Arkansas, reinforcing U.S.-Israeli defense collaboration. The IFPC Inc 2 will employ an open systems approach, enhancing integration with existing defense layers and providing diverse engagement options for commanders.
