And missiles and microwaves.

Earlier this year, the service unveiled tentative plans to decide who would participate in new cruise missile interceptor competition in FY25. Industry feedback over the coming weeks could alter that date and reshape the acquisition timetable.

The service plans to take vendors into a competition from FY25 through FY27 to procure its second interceptor for the Indirect Fire Protection Capability.

In a bid to win a spot on the IFPC Inc 2 program as the second interceptor, Israel’s Rafael will throw its hat into the ring with Iron Dome’s Tamir interceptor, and Lockheed says it may have a contender too.

In a bold stride for battlefield supremacy, the Army's Enduring Shield just nailed a game-changer, successfully firing off an AIM-9X missile interceptor, signaling a new era of air defense might and readiness to counter emergent threats head-on.

Leidos has delivered the initial round of Enduring Shield launchers ordered under a U.S. Army contract. Produced by the company's Dynetics subsidiary, the launchers are ground-based, mobile systems designed to address threats associated with combat cruise missiles and unmanned aircraft to safeguard civilian and military infrastructure, Leidos announced from Huntsville, Alabama on Thursday.

Leidos completed US Army tests on the Enduring Shield multi-launch missile defence system designed to counter cruise missiles and UAS.

Leidos has completed a demonstration of its Enduring Shield Weapon System as a launcher for the AIM-9X missile interceptor. The Risk Reduction Flight Demonstration sets the stage for the developmental test phase of Enduring Shield launchers, which will begin in January, Leidos said Tuesday.

The Biden administration announced that it was handing back two Iron Dome air-defense batteries to Israel as part of a larger flow of military aid to the region

Additional Iron Dome systems could prove invaluable to Israel as the country looks to counter mass rocket attacks from multiple vectors.
