Part of that effort involved releasing a solicitation to industry for a prototyping effort and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/land\/2020\/03\/09\/army-to-conduct-shoot-off-for-future-indirect-fires-protection-capability\/\" target=\"_blank\">hosting a shoot-off <\/a>for two teams at White Sands Missile Range, New Mexico. Eventually, the service will add a capability to counter rockets, artillery and mortar threats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Each team that participated in the shoot-off brought a launcher and interceptor combination. The demonstrations happened over several weeks beginning at the end of April and ending in early May.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Defense News first reported that, according to several sources familiar with the activity, Dynetics was bringing a launcher based off the Army\u2019s internally developed, but <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/digital-show-dailies\/ausa\/2019\/10\/15\/army-developed-multimission-launcher-off-the-table\/\" target=\"_blank\">then canceled, Multi-Mission Launcher <\/a>along with the Raytheon-produced AIM-9X Sidewinder interceptor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dynetics would not tell reporters what interceptor it brought to the live-fire event as part of its offering due to an internal decision based on the interceptor manufacturer\u2019s desire not to name it, according to Ronnie Chronister, the company\u2019s, senior vice president for weapons technology and manufacturing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cOur selection of that effector was based on the fact that the Army\u2019s sense of urgency was very high in getting capability into the field,\u201d he said during a June 3 briefing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But its launcher \u2014 Enduring Shield \u2014 takes know-how from the Multi-Mission Launcher\u2019s development and improves upon it, Chronister said. \u201cOur offering is not MML,\u201d he said, \u201cbut it is derived from the heritage and the things that we\u2019ve learned from MML.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Chronister said the company redesigned the stack system of the MML to obtain cost efficiencies and has worked to make the launcher more producible and less complex, which is critical to the Army\u2019s requirement to build 16 launchers and 80 interceptors in a short period of time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cOur offering has a 360-degree envelope and an ability to engage multiple targets simultaneously,\u201d he said, adding that it was demonstrated to fully integrate with the Army\u2019s Integrated Air and Missile Defense Battle Command System \u2014 a key requirement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The system is built with a modular, open-system architecture, Chronister said, meaning any interceptor can be used with the launcher.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe are basically missile agnostic,\u201d he said, \u201cso if the customer comes back and wants to integrate another effector into our system, we have designed it such that that integration will be seamless and relatively easy to accomplish.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The MML had trouble with reloading, and the AIM-9X had issues with overheating. But Chronister said that with changes to the launcher, all issues \u2014 found over three years ago \u2014 are resolved, including thermal problems with the interceptor itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The company has relevant experience designing launchers \u2014 from its history on the MML program to current efforts to build the launcher for the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/land\/2019\/08\/30\/heres-who-will-build-and-integrate-the-first-hypersonic-weapon-system-prototype\/\" target=\"_blank\">Army\u2019s ground-launched hypersonic missile<\/a>. Dynetics is also building the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/land\/2021\/02\/09\/us-army-begins-equipping-first-unit-with-hypersonic-capability\/\" target=\"_blank\">first glide bodies <\/a>for those hypersonic missiles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The company received the contract roughly 20 months ago to build the launcher for hypersonic missiles. Chronister said the firm is already delivering hardware to the Army.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dynetics also has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/land\/2019\/05\/16\/dynetics-lockheed-team-beats-out-raytheon-to-build-100-kilowatt-laser-weapon\/\" target=\"_blank\">experience on the Indirect Fires Protection Capability program, developing a 300-kilowatt laser<\/a> on a Heavy Expanded Mobility Tactical Truck, to serve as a possible countermeasure for an enduring solution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Taking its work hardening cyber and electronic warfare systems, Dynetics is also baking into its IFPC offering the ability to protect it from cyber and EW attacks, according to Chronister.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Army is expected to choose a winner to proceed in building an initial lot of prototypes in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021. The winner must deliver all prototypes to the Army in time to reach initial operational capability by the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe feel very confident in our ability to meet this aggressive schedule that the Army has laid out,\u201d Chronister said. \u201cWe have invested our own internal funds, our research and development funds into this program, so we have skin the game with this one.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dynetics hopes to win a contract to build prototypes of the Army&#8217;s indirect fire
