US Army tackles enduring system to counter both drone and cruise missile threats

WASHINGTON — The U.S. Army is on a path to choose an enduring system that will counter both drone and cruise missile threats by releasing a solicitation to industry for a prototyping effort and by hosting a shoot-off for two teams at White Sands Missile Range, New Mexico.

The service released a solicitation for prototypes for its Indirect Fires Protection Capability, or IFPC, in April.
