Dynetics has been awarded a $617 million U.S. Army contract to produce critical air and missile defense systems.
The contract, valued at $617,164,135, supports the fiscal 2026 production buy of Indirect Fire Protection Capability Increment Two systems, a key component of the Army’s layered air and missile defense strategy.
The award includes launcher systems, retrofit prototype launchers, all-up-round magazines, soldier trainers, weight representative training devices, contractor logistics services, initial spares and engineering services.
Work locations and funding will be determined with each order, with an estimated completion date of Nov. 30, 2029. The Army Contracting Command at Redstone Arsenal is the contracting activity.
No bids were received for the contract, according to the Department of Defense.
In 2024, the Army aanouced a major contract with Dynetics for IFPC Increment Two. In that announcement, the Army issued a $4.1 billion undefinitized indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contract covering low-rate initial production, full-rate production and support services, with an initial procurement of 18 launchers.
Army officials said the effort reflects growing demand for the system, which is designed to protect fixed and semi-fixed sites from drones, cruise missiles, rockets, artillery and mortars while integrating with broader air and missile defense networks.
The Indirect Fire Protection Capability, or IFPC, is designed to defend against a range of aerial threats, including cruise missiles, drones and rockets, providing critical protection for U.S. forces and infrastructure.
Dynetics, a wholly owned subsidiary of Leidos, is a major player in Huntsville’s defense and aerospace sector. Headquartered in Cummings Research Park, the company specializes in advanced engineering, manufacturing and technology development, with a focus on hypersonics, space systems, cybersecurity and weapon systems.
