Boeing and Anduril Advance in Army's Midrange Interceptor Competition

On Sept. 9, 2026, Anduril announced that the U.S. Army selected it and Boeing to advance to the next phase of the Integrated Fires Protection Capability (IFPC) Increment 2 Second Interceptor competition.

The proposed system combines Boeing's seeker technology and compact airframe with Anduril’s solid rocket motor. This integration delivers a mass-producible, midrange interceptor designed to fill the operational gap between short-range point defense and long-range air defense systems.
